Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You need to go to emergency room because she needs to get her blood pressure and pulse stabilized. After the first stabilisation the thyroid tests need to be performed. Maybe she is in a thyroid storm as you call it and you need to consult her endocrinologist for that.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
