Peggy I take propanolol or Inderal, an old PD and essential tremor remedy as well as a beta drug for high bp; for my labile high blood pressure - take one at night. It controls it very well. However, my mother who died of a stroke ,had malignant hypertension since it was discovered when she was in her 30's. Sometimes nothing seemed to help. I always had low blood pressure, so it would probably depend on what kind of high BP your mom has.
