Probably a good idea: to get checked out by a health care professional. This is not a normal blood pressure. There may be a treatable reason for her blood pressure elevation and she would like to avoid the long term problems associated with hypertension (stroke, heart attack, kidney failure). See your health care provider and follow their instructions.
