First make sure you relax her for 10 mins by making her lie down for 10 mins then once she s relaxed check her bp. If it still continues to be high as mentioned above you can increase the dose from 25 to 50 mg. That should work. N then continue monitoring her bp.

It is normal for bp to increase during the day due to physical exertion or stress, generally bp comes back to normal upon resting for 30 minutes.
