Dear doctor,
Today she was seen by a neurophysician Dr. XXXXXXX XXXXXXX (Surat). He visited here Vyara. He suggested for CT scan (brain). It was done at Vyara and found every thing normal. He suggested to be admitted at XXXXXXX hospital (Dr. Abhay Shah, MD, medicine) under his guidance. He also suggested blood test which is to be carried out.

Dear Mr XXXXXXX
Thank you for the update. I hope she will be thoroughly evaluated at the hospital. Your mother's symptoms are recent. It is less likely that they are due to any long standing illness. The cause is likely to be a recent one. I hope clinical evaluation might throw some light on the cause.
When all the medical causes have been ruled out, you can consider the role of stress or anxiety or depression. Meanwhile, if you think you have some more information to share, as per the points mentioned in the previous reply, you can write them.
Take care. Hope your mother recovers soon.
