Hey. Thanks for writing at HCM.
These are some alarming signs and I'd suggest you to take her to a hospital. She is getting delirious now which could be because of the fracture or the poor health and other medical conditions she has. How much is her urine output since morning? Take her bp and pulse regularly. Intravenous fluids need to be started on her ASAP if BP keeps falling.
Just be careful and take care of her.
