Hypertension should be treated for the underlying causes like cardiac disease, renal disease, or any vascular disease, hypertension should be classified under a certain category, for that only her primary physician can identify the class under which her hypertension may be classified. The medication you specified does not include any anti-diuretics, which is very important factor because we need to decrease the volume in the vascular system. So the ideal thing you need to do is to admit your mom in a hospital.
