General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I think she might have experienced collapse in her blood pressure (BP). Please monitor her bp, record the results for reference. I think you should get her checked by her primary doctor first, and run a few diagnostic tests to determine the real cause behind this, including:
- Complete blood count (rule out anemia)
- Fasting blood glucose (rule out hypoglycemia)
- If she is on any diet, advise to stop, and try to have meals regularly.
Discuss this further with her caring doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
