Brief Answer:
Yes She should go
Detailed Answer:
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
She might develop low blood pressure that is Hypotension and that should be taken on a serious note.
So, if she can manage to get her blood pressure checked hourly, she may wait for you.
If she doesn't have any provision for getting the blood pressure checked, in that case she should right away call for ER help.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
