My mother keeps on falling down suddenly. This has happened several times in the past few weeks; do you know what could be wrong?
Wow, I would get her to an ED ASAP. The causes of falling down are many, but you want to rule out heart disease or abnormal heart rhythms. Most brain disorders do not present like this, but abnormal heart rate and low blood pressure are two common causes. Do not let her drive or operate machinery. Go to the nearest ED today and get her worked up. Do not take her home if there is no ECG, echo, CT scan of the head; and she has to be seen by a heart doctor.
