Hi,

This can happen due to syncopal attack from fall in blood pressure.

As you say she had a heart attack earlier so the possibility of cardiogenic syncope cannot be ruled out.

I advise you to take her ER room for proper evaluation of heart functions particularly and accordingly she would be treated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
