One of Alison's questions is really important -- is your sister seeing different doctors for different things, and if so, are they communicating with each other? Or is one doctor treating her for everything?
Here is the drugs.com page on Amitriptyline. Neither it nor the side-effects page it links to lists higher blood pressure as a side effect; can I ask where you got the idea that it could?

And here is the page for vaginal estrogen and its side effects; it does say that a patient should talk to their doctor before using it if they have high blood pressure:

Stress can affect almost anything about our health. When we are stressed, the adrenal glands release cortisol. Here's a post I wrote about cortisol and its importance, both good and bad:

Does your sister feel like her doctors are working hard to help her get to the bottom of all this?
