Brief Answer:
Needs examination & investigations

Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic

It is surprising that your mother has not followed up her blood pressure.
Blood pressure is a silent disease, leading to damage of some target organs – eyes / kidney, heart and brain. REGULAR FOLLOW UP IS A MUST

Take her to a doctor.
Get her investigated – ECG ECHOcardiogram. Lab tests – Electrolytes, kidney function, Lipids (Cholesterol etc.), sugar etc
That may reveal some clues to the cause, consequence and/or associated risk factors

     Neorobian? Or is it Neurobion? Neurobion is a combination of Vitamins B1, B6 and B12. It has nothing to do with blood pressure…
     Alprazolam is used to treat anxiety, panic, insomnia etc…
     Amlong belongs to a class of drugs called Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB), prescribed for high blood pressure. She can continue. There are several classes of drugs and several drugs in each class. Her doctor will be able to adjust the dose and combinations… The maximum dose is up to 10 mg. Generally, more than one drug is necessary for most people

Good luck
God bless you
