No it's not a serious problem
Detailed Answer:
No it's not serious problem. But should be intervened at early stage. She is not receiving ace inhibitor so you can request your local doctor for the same.
In general, she should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly and bp should not be persistently more than 140/90 mmhg, preferably less than 130. Regular exercises like brisk walking, or just walking according her capacity atleast 30 min a day and 5 days a week. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Get Lipid profile tested if not done recently. All the best.
