Hello,
I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM
As such reading of 120 upper I.e.systolic is very much normal.But lower diastolic 100 is high.
First of all she should reduce her salt intake .If she is on NSAID group of medicine or steroid she should modify medication in consultation with treating doctor .she should avoid resistant training exercises.
My best wishes
