Hello there.
I can understand your consult.
Is she having any symptoms associated with this low blood pressure?
In aged people and in skinny people the blood pressure is a bit on the lower side nornally so in them you fo not need to worry.
Other wise, she should have lots of water and with a pinch of salt everytime.
Consult a general physician in oerson for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.
