Brief Answer:
She should take some liquids

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,

In her age low blood pressure is usually caused either by dehydration or by medications. I would advise her to drink some liquids and lie down. Take her blood pressure in 1.5-2 hours and get in touch again. And please, write also what is her usual blood pressure and wether she takes any medication.

Take care
