What Causes Diarrhea,cold Sweats And Dizziness After A Double Bypass Surgery?

Blood pressure
Detailed Answer:
Sorry to note your mother's blood pressure problems.
It would be important to do a few tests to rule out some conditions that can potentially explain these symptoms.
CBC
CMP
TSH
Free T4
Plasma free metanephrines
An underactive thyroid can raise diastolic blood pressure. The above tests will give us an idea if she has that. An overactive thyroid can elevate blood pressure too and cause heart racing as well.
Then there is a rare condition called Pheochromocytoma, which results in episodes of high blood pressure along with dizziness and fast heart beat and sweating. The 'plasma free metanephrines' test will screen for that.
I am glad to know you have a doctors' appointment soon for her. In the meanwhile, just keep an eye on her blood pressure and in case of worrisome symptoms, I reckon there would be no option other than going to an ER
