high blood pressure is almost always treatable with the right combination of medications (individually prescribed) and life style modifications (diet and exercise). this person should be under the care of a good clinician and be monitoring his own blood pressures at home keeping a log. a person would only be considered "untreatable" if there was complete failure of medications (unlikely) and failure to comply with lifestyle modifications (often happens) and compliance.
