Hello, thanks for the query. Some times with suddenly increased bp there can be problem like a stroke. It is possible that she may have had such a episode, which could be mild one. Bp 140/91 mm hg is also still high. It needs to be maintained around 120 to 130/70 o 80 mm hg. The the additional drug needs to be continued. As for the jaw moving to right, please talk to your local physician. He needs to check the patient fully. Thanks.

Hello. A sudden surge of blood pressure may have caused sudden blackout (blurring of vision) or caused a stroke like event, which explains the palsy (jaw position). A photograph or video of her jaw can prove to be informative in making a diagnosis. Even with anti-hypertensive medicine, her bp is not in control (diastolic bp of less than 80 is advisable). This will require aggressive and prompt treatment. Further medicines need to be added. Besides, restrict her salt intake strictly and 30-40 mins of daily exercise in any form is encouraged. There may be need of some radiological tests like ct scan or mri. As for the eyes, please get her checked up by an ophthalmologist soon, so as to rule out any kind of retinopathy (retina problem). Time is a crucial factor in her case right now. Kindly seek help. I am available for consultation anytime to discuss your case in more detail and give you further guidance for the same. Thank you.
