What Causes Fatigue, Frequent Urination, Low Appetite And Nausea?

You are on the right tract.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for sharing your mom's problem with us.
You are on a right tract. The next consultation she need is from a Uro-gynecologist for which that bladder filling test is required.
Actually in postmenopausal ladies due to hormonal deficiency female bladder & urethra become weak. So, old ladies may develop frequency of urination & nocturia ( multiple urination at night). Up to two times per night is quite normal for her age.
These changes do not appear soon after menopause but take some time like in her case. Or may be due to recent attack of bronchitis & breathlessness her intra-abdominal pressure raised & made the urethral supports more weak.
If she was given some diuretic medicine it may be a side effect of it.
However, once a diagnosis is made after the Urodynamic studies, she will get the treatment she needs.
By that time avoid fluids specially caffeinated drinks at night to ease the problem.
Give her good balanced diet.
Her other symptoms may indicate an ongoing chronic health problem. Just show her to a good physician for thorough systemic review & to pick up any other undiagnosed problem.
Better to get one abdomino-pelvic ultrasound for the same reason even if there is nothing wrong obviously in that area.
Hope she gets well soon.
Take care.
