Brief Answer:
Start low dose antihypertensives.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
The blood pressure is slightly on the higher side, but it is not that much high.
As of now she can start a low dose antihypertensives like amlodipine five milligrams once a daily basis. Reduce salt intake.
She can check the blood pressure after two weeks. If it’s still on higher side, she can consult a physician for expert opinion.
Wishing all the best.
Thanks
