Might be useful in hardening of arteries elsewhere eg legs.  If not, she should question her GP about the aspirin.Not sure of what her BP levels are, so difficult to make suggestions about further help.Genaral advice for BP control is:-1: Avoid salt2: Keep alcohol intake down eg 3 units (30 gm) per day max in a female3: Keep weight (Body Mass Index (BMI) down to healthy level (20-25 for european)It is really valuable to have several measurements of BP to get an idea of what is going on."She has 62 years old" - ca veut dire que vous etes francophone? Sans aucune doute, votre anglais serait meilleur que mon francais. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Best wishes</blockquote>
