@AMOL,
Where does she live? What type of doctors has she been to? What tests have they already done on her?

Does she have heart problems? Is she diabetic?

@Butrflynet,
in konkan, a west costal area, india we live. my mother is dibetic 1 year, hypertensive 10 yrs. she had undergone tests like USG. she is extreamly fobic to see doctors. may be she think that they may tell some BIG disease which will burden me. we try to convience her but she is too emotional also. she is happy when docs tell that there is nothing wrong. but same thing irritates me that if nothing is wrong, then why this problem she is suffering?

@AMOL,
Is she using insulin?

The symptoms sound like some of the later stages of uncontrolled diabetes.
