Answers:

People with blood pressure problems sometimes have spikes in their pressure-- that's what the pills are for. However, I suggest you check it every half hour or so and if it hasn't come down in the next hour or so, is going higher, or she is beginning to experience additional symptoms, then I suggest you take her to the ER quickly.

Good luck!
