Has this been a problem in the past? If it is usually low, it could
just be the result of a poor night's sleep, or an oncoming cold, or if
he did a hard workout the day before. BP goes up and down quite a bit,
plus the inaccuracy of the machines varies a lot. Have him get it
retested when he is relaxed and well rested and see if it is still high.
