Sudden spike of bp

Question

Sudden spike of bp

Asked for Male, 75 Years

Doctor my grandfather has bp since 10 years. Last 2 days he didn't take his bp tablets. He takes twice a day telmisartan 40. Now past three days his bp is 160/95 inspite of taking his tablets twice. He got stroke 14 years back and is ok now. Is that bp spike normal because of missing tablets. And he has mild headaches while coughing. Kindly suggest us whether it's a matter of concern or its normal to get bp spike and it will settle after 4 days.
