Hai,
yes you need to attend as soon as possible.
High blood pressure usually didnt have any symptoms. if high BP with associated symptoms of head ache should be an indication for stroke.
dull pain in the left will give a lead to acute heart symptoms.(heart attack)

kindly take her to emergency department for further management.

thank you
