Hello,
First of all her hypertension is very high which requires treatment. Her shortness of breath might be due to congestive heart failure. She needs to be investigated (blood tests, chest xray, echocardiogram) for it and treated if positive for heart failure. Suggest seeing a cardiologist for both the hypertension and the shortness of breath.
