HI Rishu.
Thanks for your concerns.
Please enlighten on the other problems your Mother-in-law has.
No need to take any medicine if the BP is normal.
I would advise to to have a consultation with a Pulmonalogist ( Chest Physician), who would take her pulmonary function tests, X-rays/ CT scan and decide the cause.
She may be having a sleep apnoea problem and CPAP machines do help a lot to improve this and they are not very costly
