Anybody has the medicine for high blood pressure?

Don't do that. The doctor must have a good reason to not prescribe medicine for your father.
What many people didn't know is, giving prescription medicine to others without a doctor's prescription is a CRIMINAL offence in North America. (although seldom prosecuted).

Re: Re: Anybody has the medicine for high blood pressure?
Yes, I agree with this point. It's dangerous to just give medicine to someone as your original intention could be good, but the result could be bad. I guess we do this in China, but it's not the right thing here.
I suggest you to buy a blood pressure monitor, and measure it at home for him where he is more comfortable, or just go to the pharmacy
store to measure it there (try different stores as one blood pressure monitor in one store may not be accurate). Do this for a week and record and the measurements. If the pressure is always high, then go to the doctor and show him the proof.

Just a note on monitoring blood pressure: you need to measure your BP in the same time of the day, over a period of at least 2 weeks to be able to draw useful conclusion, and make sure to take the time to quiet down before taking the measurement.
There should be a good reason that the doctor didn't prescribe medication for your father. Taking someone else's medication is very dangerous. If you don't trust that doctor, ask for a second opinion.
In my own experience, dizziness can be caused by lack of sleep, or stress or being hungry while on diet. Don't go to emergency room for soemthing like this, go to see your family doctor, and if you don't have one, just go to any walk-in clinic. Look in the yellowpages for AppleTree, they normally allow walk-in patients.
Has your father been diagnosed with hypertension before? If so, why didn't he bring his medication? If not, then his dizziness is probably not caused by high blood pressure. 90/148 is a little bit unusual, but still within normal BP boundaries, nothing to be alarmed about.

I felt so warm because of your guys.
I don't know how to express my thankness.
Maybe I am too worried... I just felt so helpless. My mother is a doctor in china and she know my father's symbal is because of high blood pressure. He had it before a few times in china but not very serious. After a good rest he will usually go back to normal. That's the reason they didn't bring this kind of medicine here.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your nice help. I will keep waiting to see...hopefully my father will getting better.
