How Can High Blood Pressure Be Treated?
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic It is understandable to be worried about any change from her normal readings but this is still within the normal range of the pulse. The normal pulse range is 60 to 100, so though it may be higher than what she is used to, it would still be considered a normal pulse. If she feels unwell then she should be assessed, but if she does not, then it can just be monitored to see if it goes above the normal range I hope this helps
