Hello ,
I understand your query.
Firstly we need to rule out the other causes of secondary hypertension in your mother ,such as renal artery stenosis ,phaeochromocytoma .
Secondly, start her on Anti hypertensives .
Thirdly ,we need to rule out the complications of hypertension such as hypertensive retinopathy,renal failure and hypertensive heart disease.
Fourth, She need to get a Mri brain if she continues to feel giddy to rulebout lacunar stroke .
Hope it helped .
Do get back to me if you need further assistance .
