Hello!

Thank you for your question on HCM! I appreciate your concern.

I think that her symptoms may be caused by a cervical spondylarthrosis or a viral infection. I don't think that her symptoms are caused by a stroke.

I would recommend you to consult her with the GP, perform a blood analysis for anemia or infection, liver and renal function tests and thyroid function tests. I would also recommend to monitor her blood pressure.
A low blood pressure could cause a similar clinical scenario.

Hope to have been helpful!

Greetings! Dr. Aida
