Well come to HCM
Thank for asking
I really appreciate your concern, she seems to have multiple pathologies, now for her blood pressure it is not well under controlled, some time single drug for hypertension may not be helpful, as such she also seems to have some renal pathologies, if this is the hypertension due to that then diuretic can be added or the dose of diuretic need to be increased if already going on, actually just on the basis of single reading of blood pressure taking some decision is not wise but as matter of fact blood pressure needs to be monitor for days, stress may also affect the blood pressure, ideally it is better to discuss this with her doctor hope this information helps.
