Hi,


These symptoms are may be due to the anxiety. Anxiety in older adult may be linked to several important factors, especially chronic medical conditions like diabetes overall feelings of poor health, Sleep disturbances these are the main reason. I think your mom needed counseling to overcome all her worries and also check the medications, if they causing these types of fatigue and other problems and let it discuss with her doctor.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
