thank-you user for your query.
I understand your concern.
As per your history I should say that kindly monitor your blood pressure twice daily and keep a record of it. At the end of the week if you find out that the average blood pressure is more towards higher range then you have to start antihypertensive drugs.Till then you can ask her to restrict her salt intake as in ask her to stop eating pickles, salted salads, salted snacks.
Ask her to do meditation every morning.
This will help in reducing her stress level and maintain her blood pressure.
god bless
