This pranayam will send extra oxygen to the heart, left and right brain and get the body in balance.Start today and you will start to feel the benefit gradually. Continue this once a day for life, after you are better.
Build up your timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after one minute.
Anulom Vilom pranayam –
Close your right nostril with thumb and deep breath-in through left nostril  
then – close left nostril with two fingers and breath-out through right nostril  
then -keeping the left nostril closed  deep breath-in through right nostril
then - close your right nostril with thumb and breath-out through left nostril.
This is one cycle of anulom vilom.
Repeat this cycle for 15 to 30  minutes twice a day.
Children under 15 years – do 5 to 10 minutes twice a day.
You can do this before breakfast/lunch/dinner or before bedtime or in bed.Remember to take deep long breaths into the lungs.You can do this while sitting on floor or chair or lying in bed.

The problem with being on medication, particularly blood thinners, is that a lot of what's used to tackle plaque, which causes strokes as well as heart attacks, also thins blood.  Magnesium is one of the body's relaxants, including relaxing the heart muscle, so it's not likely to provide energy.  The beta blocker can be a source of tiredness, but so can the trauma she's experienced.  Because of how complicated this situation is, I don't think those of us on this site are going to be of much help.  A naturopath would be much better, probably in conjunction with a holistic nutritionist -- diet is very important to preventing cholesterol from turning into plaque and narrowing the blood vessels.  Antioxidants are essential.  But you'll need to coordinate with a willing doc, since the warfarin and beta blockers present the contraindication problems.  Just as an example, one of the first things people tell one to do with clogged blood vessels is increase the good fats, but fish oil, for example, is also a blood thinner, so there again, the warfarin problem.  So you'll need someone who can work around this and coordinate between the medication she probably needs for now due to the serious present situation and the treatment to prevent further problems and get her back to strength.
