Thanks. He has been on a salt restricted diet for 2 years now. His blood pressure was 145/86 at high and sometimes lower for the past 5 years that we have been married. I don't know what his blood pressure was before we were married as he was not watching it. Recently it has gone up to 150/96, 150/93 over the past week (taking blood pressure from a nurse at his school). Previously we had found out that his blood pressure was elevated at a health fair where he works.
I will relax and wait for his next appointment. Hopefully, it will go down. We have been under a lot of stress lately.

Hi, relax, the finding doesn’t mean that he has sustained hypertension, one must monitor blood pressure at least thrice on different occasions and if it shows more than normal on all the occasions, one should take the treatment which starts from salt restricted diet and medication.
Nothing much to worried about, wait for the blood reports. Hypertension can easily be controlled with medications and so does it complications like stroke etc. The episode of dizziness he had does not look like stroke.
