Low: If this reading is accurate, she may be at risk for falls, especially in hot weather or if she becomes dehydrated. Suggest a visit with the doctor.

Maybe : It depends, if she is on blood pressure medicine that is probably lower than it needs to be, if she is on meds for congestive heart failure that might be ok. If she is not on meds, and feels fine, then she is probably ok.
