Continue the medications for at least 2 weeks

Detailed Answer:
Dear Raviv, Hi
Thanks for your query.

Since she is currently taking Moxovas and LN block twice daily, let her continue for about 2 weeks, get her BP recorded manually (by Sphygmomanometer). If it is found to be high, the treating physician should be informed so that he can increased the dosage.

Meanwhile, if she gets dizziness or headache it should be brought to the notice of the treating physician.

Hope this answers your query.
Wishing your mother a very good health.
