Hi, sudden increase in BP will give such symptoms of restlessness, chest pain , palpitations.
To avoid stress she will need some anxiolytic medications.
As she has no other risk factors of Coronary artery disease a normal BP and lifestyle will suffice.
Intermittent or constant high BP will affect heart so needs immediate attention.
Small changes in habits will bring significant improvement.
