Hi,

You need to consult a neurosurgeon or neurologist and get a CT scan of the head for your mother. Discuss with the specialist if an MRI too is required.

What is her age? Is she on any medications currently? Is her blood pressure in the normal range?

Let us know about the reports of the investigations and what her doctor advises.

Post us about how she is doing and if you have any other doubts.

Regards.
