hello
thanks for posting here.
She has accidentally taken an extra dose of losar and hydrochlorothiazide. 130/80 is a good BP. she will be able to tolerate the extra dose well so you need not worry about that. only thing she may feel is dehydrated or thrist or increased urination due to hydrochlorothiazide component. you can give her some additional water to drink today.
thank you
