Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Please visit the emergency department of any hospital and get a stomach wash done. The symptoms she is exhibiting is that of hyperthyroidism for which treatment is needed. It will increase heart rate, cause diarrhea, tremors of hand, anxiety, and agitation. Do not waste time. Take her to the nearest hospital urgently.
