Hi,
If you have measured her BP with an electronic device, then, I suggest to get the device checked. The majority of my patients who uses such device to measure BP do report false results.
I advise to control the device if it is working properly and to get her bp measured by a standard bp meter (non electronic).
Get her medications regularly and advise her not to use too much salty and oily foods and coffee.
Keep always in contact with her cardiologist.
