Could be early hypertension, but those numbers are quite high and are concerning.
Why is she having her blood pressure taken several times throughout the day, and how are the blood pressures being measured?
The eval so far sounds appropriate. She should be evaluated for hyperthyroid as well, and possibly consider screening for pheochromocytoma (an adrenaline-secreting tumor usually found in the abdomen).
It sounds like her doc is on the ball.
