Hi, actually we need to check her renal function before prescribing anti hypertensives. But with the given history you can start stamlo 2.5mg tablet once a day after breakfast. Monitor her pressure and heart rate daily 2hrs after tablet and review again. Ecg also needed. Kindly take virtual consultation for more details. Thankyou.
