Hello,
The symptoms of your wife can be related to many medical conditions.
It can be caused by high blood pressure.
It can also be related to glycemic level.
I suggest to do a complete blood count, glycemic levels and regular measurements of the blood pressure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
