Hi welcome to HCM
Your mom could be suffering from drug induced hypotension,hence the symptoms.Monitor her BP regularly,if its low home therapy like 3-4litres of water,plenty of fruit juices,buttermilk etc is preferable.If BP is less than 90/60mmhg,take her to emergency room for IV fluid supplementation.Get ECG and 2D echo as a part of screeing for any heart disease.Speak to your doctor regarding decrease in dosage of drug as these medications shouldnt be escalated suddenly.Report to doctor immediately if symptoms doesnt subside after home therapy.Consult your cardiologist for expert management.
Thankyou
