Hi, I hope you are doing well. I can understand your concern. I need to know, whether she had past history of hypertension, or she was on any medication prior to this episode. The sudden rise to Blood pressure can be due to simple stress, anxiety some time pain. If she is known hypertensive then skipping medication can cause a sudden rise of Blood pressure. I have noticed that her diastolic BP was high. You need to monitor her BP regularly. also in supine position and standing position. Also during day time and night time. Do three to four readings of BP. It will give us an Idea about her blood pressure fluctuation. The symptoms she is having are probably due to low blood pressure. especially hypertensive elderly people tend to take less salt than required which leads to low salt in their body, resulting in hyponatremia. which can result in such symptoms. I suggest you monitor Blood pressure. If possible do Serum electrolyte and Random blood sugar and creatinine. continue Amlodipine as advised by your doctor. I t can be changed as per BP monitoring. Hope this will help you.
