What Causes Fainting Along With Visual And Auditory Hallucinations?
Hello my mother is 77 years old, she just recently started getting really weak and falling down. She is also seeing and hearing things that are not there. She sees my father and my sister (they have both passed away) and she gets scared and upset with me when I tell her they are not here. The doctor did blood work and scans and they see nothing.

Hi,
First of all it's sad to know what your mother had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, she may need a psychiatrist review and detailed workup and counselling session. This could be any psychiatric illness like schizophrenia etc.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
