What immediate steps or remedies should I take for my mother who fainted two days ago, has high blood pressure, and was prescribed Aten 25mg and Perinorm 10mg?
Since she takes Aten (atenolol) for blood pressure and Perinorm (metoclopramide), the fainting could be due to a temporary drop in blood pressure or heart rate. For now, please ensure she rests, stays well-hydrated, and stands up very slowly from a sitting or lying position to prevent dizziness. If you have a home monitor, check her blood pressure and pulse. Most importantly, please contact her doctor soon for a review of her medications to ensure the dosages are still correct for her. If she feels faint again, have her lie down immediately.
