Hi,
The stress test results suggest that your mother-in-law may have difficulty achieving her target heart rate during exercise and may have poor effort tolerance. This could indicate a problem with her cardiovascular fitness or a possible issue with her heart. It would be best for her to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and testing to determine these symptoms' causes and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
