@slkanowitz and @kdwest422 I think I had the cart before the horse. Since the low bp follows the tachycardia, it would seem that the fast heart rate lowers bp as @slkanowitz described, not the other way around as I suggested!
Does she wear a smart watch? Has she done a patch monitor for a month? It seems you are documenting. Maybe it will help take this seriously if a cardiologist can see it. Again, what did the stress test show?
It's hard but the suggestion above to avoid anything that raises the heart rate seems prudent.
