Hi! I can totally understand your concerns. Based on the history provided I say that:
1. Get a CT scan of the brain done- there is a possibility of small to big bleed inside the brain or outside the brain but within skull (SDH/EDH/SAH). Middle aged to elderly people are sensitive to trauma. If she is hypertensive or on certain meds like blood thinners then the chances are even more.
2. If CT is normal, get Complete blood count and thyroid function tests done.
3. Simultaneously you can start her on vitamin B complex and vitamin D with calcium supplements.
4. Hydrate her (water or ors/energy powder or juice)
Do these things in the order and let me know the report
Next Steps
