Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
I have read and understood your concern
High blood pressure and Diabetes are chronic illnesses that go together as they have almost the same risk factors.Her BP values are really high.She will need to see the Doctor or if possible, her Cardiologist to evaluate her Bp medications.In the meantime, i will advise strict rest, good diet control(Diabetic diet and low salt diet).
Hope this will help.You may write back if more concerns
Best regards
