Going by the history, it looks like your mother probably has orthopnea, that is breathing difficulty after lying down. She needs further work up as to the cause of this, including a Chest X-ray, certain lab investigations, ECHO, Spirometry, etc.
Next Steps
Please consult a cardiologist nearby for cardiac evaluation and a Pulmonologist for a Spirometry
