Hi,
"Shortness of breath" should be reported to your dr immediately, of course tomorrow, but when somethimg is "extreme" I´d take her to the ER, the point being if she stops the medication at once her HBP most likely will return. I am not a dr nor pretend to be one, so here is what I suggest, again, take her to the ER and let medical professionals handle this situation, and if she needs to be stabilized or anything else she will be in the right place.
Call her dr tomorrow first thing.
Regards, masso
