That is a fairly low BP. it would really depend on what her bp runs normally. That is still low enough to be concerned especially if it is consistent. There are other factors you would need to look at also, such as pulse rate, general feeling, etc. If it continued I would see MD

Take extra care when standing up because your BP can drop when going from lying down or sitting to standing up.
