Brief Answer:
Yes, you should take her to ER.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Yes, please take her to ER. Such high blood pressure can cause a stroke. It should be lowered as soon as possible.
If she has sublingual Captopril medicine, she should take it now.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
