The body can adapt to a lot of things, seems that your dad is lucky. Not sure what type of advice youre looking for, seems that you know the answers. He should stop drinking and smoking and take his blood pressure medication because youre right, he is a ticking time bomb, he could suffer a brain hemorrhage or a heart attack at any moment, or even start to develop symptoms of lungs, heart and liver conditions.
Gender - male Age - 54 Weight - 165lbs Height - 5'11So my father has been a heavy alcoholic and smoker for 40+ years but im concerned about his health. About 15 years ago he went to the doctors to get some tests done and his doctor literally said to him "I don't know how you are standing here in front of me", He also had a blood pressure of over 200 and his blood pressure is still at around that level today.But a few months ago he felt really dizzy to the point where He got a doctor's appointment, Then at the doctor's they did a ECG on his heart and said that he must of had a silent heart attack. They also took his blood pressure and it was 260/180.But my father still drinks and smokes like crazy, He did take tablets to lower blood pressure but he still doesn't care.Seriously, How the hell could he still be alive when he has been living with critical blood pressure of over 200 for at least 15 years? Cause apparently if you have a blood pressure of over 180/120 then you have a 80 percent chance of dying within 1 year.Now I love my father but I think he is a ticking time bomb and im worried
