Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your mom's symptoms and would like to reassure you that it may not be something serious.
However, if she is concerned about any serious brain disease such as Tumour, infection, blood clot, etc, a brain scan such as MRI may be done to exclude them.
