1. A blockage of 69% and 50% is not significant unless it involves "LEFT MAIN ARTERY".
2. Mitral valve prolapse with slight leakage is also not significant.
3. A blood pressure of 80/50 mmHg with inability to stand and impending "passing out" is definitely something which should be evaluated urgently. Swelling of legs may also point to cardiac pathology. With history of correction of Tetralogy, Cardiac cause should be ruled out.
4. There can be other causes of low blood pressure like medicines, any infection , low intake etc. A normal BP on lying down and low BP on standing is a common combination in old age and is primarily due to nerve disorders.
I would request you to take her to ER (emergency room) at least once, so that an exact cause can be ascertained after examination and investigations. Then try to convince her to take a treatment also.
Please feel free to discuss further.
Sincerely
