Thanks for using the Ask a Doctor service.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. You need to restrict the salt intake for your wife. The blood pressure needs to be monitored every couple of days. It is only if the blood pressure remains persistently high that blood pressure medication needs to be tried.
It would be advisable to visit a local physician and to remain under his follow up.
