Brief Answer:
Can wait until tomorrow

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,

Blood pressure 114/77 is not that low to refer to ER unless your wife's normal blood pressure is above 140/90.
It is possible she is weak because of pneumonia.
If she has no heart failure, she can take some liquids and wait until her appointment with her doctor.

Hope I could help you

Wishing you good health
