Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Aortic stenosis is a common cause of closed blood pressure reading (called narrow pulse pressure) so probably its the aortic stenosis. The blood pressure reading of 107/ 86 is not a bad one and is ok for her age. However, as a general rule ACE inhibitors better be avoided in severe aortic stenosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
