She was in hospital for 5 days. They got everything under control with shocking her and medication. A few weeks after released from hospital she does not talk at all. She is very passive, sits at the table or out back for hrs. She sleeps a lot, does not shower, freaks out, have to bathe her, dress her, feed her. How can this happen so suddenly?
How many MGs is she on for blood pressure? Your b/p will rise when your in AFib. My DH has an AFIb problem every so many years. 4x in 40 yrs we have been married. They have no idea why. My DH is not on B/P meds normally. After the last hospital stay they sent him home with them. I questioned why, I was told he came in with high BP and I said he was also in AFib. He takes the meds and 2 weeks later we see his PCP for permission to get back to work. Dr asked him if he was feeling OK because he shouldn't even be able to stand because....his BP was VERY low. When I told her the story, she took him off.
Same with my Mom. She always took 80 mgs a day. She had a back fracture which she was in a lot of pain. When she was discharged her BP meds were 160mg. Again, she had pain. Yes, before the procedure but that corrected the problem. Three days later the in home Nurse came. Asked why Mom was on the couch when she was suppose to be sitting up in a chair until she healed. I told the nurse she just wanted to sleep. Nurse checked her B/P, VERY low. Called the PCP and she put her back down to 80mg. Back to normal Mom.
So, you may want to question her BP meds. If she wasn't on them before, if AFib under control, may not need them now, or a much lower dose.
If so, and her doctors should be able to explain to you what they think has happened, she will need time to recover (months). The best thing to do is to reassure her, encourage her step by step to do as much as she can for herself, and be patient. Is she having any sort of ongoing treatment or therapy?
