Hi ok then, can you get her vitamin D and B12 checked?
And if her blood pressure is raised, that could be a cause and should be treated.
If you are not able to get her vitamin tests immediately, put her on --any vitamin D supplement--Cholecalciferol 60, 000 units once a month on empty stomach in morning with milk.
A calcium supplement.
Also any B-12 preparation like Neurobion forte once a day after meals.
Check and treat her hypertension.
