Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post are due to Postural hypotension.
It occurs due to sudden fluctuation in blood pressure during change in posture as a result of peripheral accumulation of blood in lower limbs.
As your mom has a history of hypertension, the symptoms can be relieved by controlling the blood pressure status.
So, kindly consult her treating Doctor & discuss regarding this.
Investigations like estimation of blood pressure & blood sugar levels, Electrocardiography will be helpful in detecting any pathological cause for the symptoms.

Wishing her a good health.
Take care.
