hello,
most of the drugs you are taking are safe.
however the dose of these drugs need to be monitored and checked, as sometimes one drug can increase the blood levels of the other. this looks like the side effect of the drugs taken by your grandmother.
i would advise you to consult your doctor with all the prescription and complaints.
the dosage of the drugs may be changed or a better compliant drug may be used.
i hope i have answered your doubt.
take care
