Brief Answer:
As explained below.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
I have gone through the details and understand your concerns. The symptoms you have described points to another mild stroke attack. I need more details such as how is she now? is she able to talk and eat normally?
Her knee cramp can be due to osteoarthritis also.
I would like you to upload some reports and medicines she is on if possible so that I can get a full picture.
Solutions I would recommend for her would be to continue her cholesterol and BP medicine. She should also be on Aspirin to avoid further stroke and heart attack chances. Maintain a good diet and if she is XXXXXXX then slow walking for 20 mins will do.
I hope this answered your query. Looking forward to your reply.
Regards,
