Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You didn't mention any disease that your mother might have, but considering the symptoms, she might have a stroke episode. You should take her to the ER , for a neurological examination and probably a head CT scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
