How to manage a hypertensive crisis in elderly people?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your concern in detail and will help you out. As your mother is taking Amlodafe AT (Amlodipine, Atenolol), I assume that she is hypertensive. I will advise you to get her blood pressure checked. Now, most of the patients with hypertension present with headache and vomiting due to two main reasons: increased blood pressure (uncontrolled with medicines) or cerebrovascular accident (stroke). Since you did not mention anything about irrelevant talks and weakness of limbs, I will keep the possibility of stroke out. Increased blood pressure is the most accurate possibility. You can update it with me so that I can guide you correct medications, or you can visit your local physician as well. Kindly do not rely on a single BP (blood pressure) reading, as single readings tend to misguide us. Better to measure BP thrice daily and make a chart for it. If her BP stays in the normal range, then we will need other possibilities to rule out. For the time being, I suggest the following medications that will give her a lot of relief: Tablet Naprosyn (Naproxen) 500 mg twice daily. - Tablet Perinorm (Metoclopramide) 10 mg thrice daily. There is nothing to worry about, and once the correct diagnosis is made, it can be treated easily I hope this helps. Kindly revert in case of further queries. Thank you.
