My father in law has just had a check with his blood pressure at 180/90.  Last  night he complained that his right side of his face was numb, he said he drooled a bit in the morning.  I thought it could be a mild stroke but he wasnt complaining about his arm or legs.  He went to the doctor and now they are doing more tests today.Hes a smoker, 76 yo and very active for his age.  He has been diagnosed with prostate cancer about a year ago but reasonably stable.We want to take him to Europe as he loves to travel and thought this would be the best time now.  We were planning this in 3 weeks time to leave for 2 1/2 weeks.  We are worried that travel will create more problems or spike his blood pressure.
