Hell, and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. Don't worry, it is nothing serious. According to your explanations your husband had a qua triple bypass and as I see he is all sow hypertensive and diabetic. I have to explain to you that in this category of a patient our goal is to maintain the heart pressure between 110-120 mmHg, because of ischemic heart disease and diabetes. So a heart pressure between 110 mmHg is quite normal, it is our goal. It is normal that if it's just the beginning of this values it will take a little time to adapt. He might feel dizziness but you should not worry. It will pass. Only if you catch lower blood pressure values, below 100/60 mmHg every day, we might consider reducing any antihypertensive agent. My opinion as a cardiologyes is that these values are quite normal for the moment and that your husband should continue this way. Hope I was helpful. Best regards
