Your doctor is correct in saying that his BP is very high for his age and it requires thorough evaluation to find out if any treatable cause is leading to this problem, please consult a good cardiologist for a proper and detailed evaluation of the cause of such high BP. He will require tests like echo, check of BP in both arms and both legs, Ultrasound whole abdomen, 24 hr VMA levels and serum cortisol levels etc.
