Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
I have read and understood your concern
The secrets to having BP under control are Good diet control(low salt)/life style modifications adapted for people with high blood pressure and taking BP medicines well.Ocassional variations are possible and may be due to stress, physical activity and others. Since her BP is normal now, i will advise you just stay calm. Taking medications well will help.However, if BP values become too high despite taking medications, you see the Doctor for evaluation.
Hope this will help.Ypu may write back if more concerns
Best regards
