Take your mother to a cardiologist.
She needs physical examination .
Online consultation won't help.

Your mother needs to be evaluated for heart disease by ECG/2D-ECHO/Stress Test
And her BP control needs to be monitored at regular intervals.you can buy a home bp machine(automatic) and measure her bp daily to see if her bp is under control or not with Telma
Secondly she is suffering from Iron deficiency anemia which also causes shortness of breath and fatigue… so you can ask her to increase intake of iron rich food like chicken liver,spinach,jaggery,nuts,dates,vit C supplements and if no relief,then she can start on OTC iron supplements.
And I hope she is taking Calcium supplements too considering her age
Thanks
