if she dont have any symptoms , you can wait one week and recheck the blood presurre. if she is having any smptoms such as headache , faintisness you may have to check blood pressure earlier.if you have a digital bp apparetus at your home , you can check her bp while she is sleeping to exclude high bp due to anxiety. if she is having persistantly high bp, we have to do many investigations to exclude the causes for high bp. so if bp persistanly high show her to a specialized physician to exclude the sevondary causes.
