Hello,

If this is the proven hypertension then it has to be treated with medicine if the given medicine working better controlling the blood pressure then it is nothing to worry if the drug is not controlling blood pressure then you can discuss this with her physician or you can go for second opinion, to confirm hypertension is important even high heart rate also need to be ruled out for ventricular tachycardia and for this she needs EKG and ECHO, such case is matter of concern, second opinion is advisable or discuss the case with her physician.

Hope I have answered your query, let me know for further assistance.
