Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Wheezing in an old (80 years), hypertensive female can be due to hypertensive heart failure and bronchitis.
So better to consult doctor immediately and get done
1. Blood pressure monitoring, ecg and 2d echo to rule out heart failure.
2. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out bronchitis.
If it is heart failure then she needs strict control of blood pressure, diuretics and other cardiac drugs.
But if it is bronchitis then she needs Inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS).
So don't wait at home, consult doctor and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
