<bot>: Hi There Yes the Blood pressure and heart rate of your brother is on the higher side. He is probably developing mild hypertension. I would like to suggest you to check few things with him1. Does he smoke ; if yes then he has to stop smoking as it increases both heart rate and BP.2? Does he like eating junk and canned food : if yes he needs to cut it down to minimum and also need to reduce dietary salt intake.3? Does he exercise ; if no then he needs to start with a brisk morning walk for 45 mins a day 5 days a week4? Tell him to start having fruits and green vegetables in his diet in good amount. As his BP is on higher side, so I would like to start him on a low dose BETA BLOCKERS like METOPROLOL to control his heart rate as well as BP. Consult a doctor personally to get a prescription and follow the above advice regularly for 3 months as it will surely help your brother. I wish Him Good Health
