Cardiologist 's  Response
Hi,
After reading your question I have come to know that the main concern you have about your mother is heart pounding which has increased in frequency and her raised blood pressure. I think the best doctor to consult right now for you is a good cardiologist.
considering her condition she require some medicine that will control her blood pressure and heart pounding. and there are medicines available like B- blockers which help in both.
If she has other symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath, then he may advise some other tests.
Hope this answer would have helped you in making things clearer.
Regards
