You need to take your mom to the ER immediately if this weakness is increasing(one sided) and is making her further tired. She will require an immediate investigations such as Serum Electrolytes, CT and MRI to rule out any underlying problems and have it treated at the earliest.
Visit the ER at the earliest.
