Look at thyroid: For work up, if her pulse if still over 100, make sure it's not due to overactive thyroid, or from dietary caffienated drinks, like coffee, or sodas (like 7 up, mountain dew, squirt, coca cola, pepsi). Also, have her do relaxing things that can calm her mind and then calm her heart 2, like meditation, yoga, stretching, winding down in the evening, turn the computer off. Sometimes reduce salt helps.
