Tonight, I called 911 for my mother

So, I just came back from hospital

First, my mom woke up to go working, she works at night yea...
But, when I joined her in the kitchen, I saw her sit on a chair with her body lowered before
I was like, "Are you okay?! Are you okay?!"
Turns out she lost conscious, she had lot of trouble breathing
She was snoring but she was half-awake
I immidiatly called 911
after a couple of minutes, police arrived, and then couple of minutes later, ambulance arrived
I prepared her clothes and all in a bag, and they went off with her...
About 30 minutes later, my aunt/Godmother and uncle/Godfather arrived to take me to hospital

The doctor said it probably was low blood pressure, thats all...
The thing is, she has lot of trouble with her immunity system for over 3 years
She gots red spots on her legs, on her back, on her neck and on her face
they pop up randomly...
Also, she takes Claritins pills, but instead of one every 24 hours
she takes 2 pills every 10 hours

The doctor said all these medecine might hide something else
I really hope they find what she has, because it tired her for years now

Now she's at hospital, and my aunt/uncle brought me back home
She's supposed to come back around 9am

My sistra isn't aware of anything, and my mom want it to stay like that until she gets out
She wants to tell it herself...

Damn, she scared the shit out of me...

So, what was the thing the doctors prepare for her, but sometimes run out of ingredients for?

I'm not able to do a full check on what taking multiple Claritin pills will do to you, but it might be a super-compounded problem, such as this scenario: you have a problem, you take a pill, you keep taking the pills because you still have a problem said pills aren't treating, doing this creates a new problem (usually liver damage), your "liver" can't clean the body and more problems arise, and so on.

I guess be glad it wasn't an aneurysm and she's still alive.

Get her some flowers, clean your kitchen, and make her bed for her.

That's pretty scary. You did a good job keeping calm and getting all of her things together. I've never been in that situation but I bet I'd freak out and forget to pack things.

You said she was half awake but snoring and that she lost consciousness, did the doctors measure her sugar levels???
That's usually an indicator that the sugar level is low.

@_v3 Are you doctor?
I'm pretty sure the doctor will do whatever is needed to find out what she had...
 
I had to call 911 for my mother 2 times... she had a lot of health issues then she passed away in July 2014...........
 
@Noctosphere, no I'm not a doctor. However I had to call 911 for a case that was almost identical and the guy had a critically low sugar level (the paramedics tested his sugar level 3 times because they hadn't seen anything that severe). No need to be snarky when I'm offering help.

@_v3 sorry... wasn't intended to be rude...

BTW, I'm soon moving to a condominium with mom
Apparently, Legault accorded funds to enlarge the hospital near it :)
 
Mom arrived home about an hour ago

Apparently, it was jsut low blood pressure
Also, when they sent solution through her veins
All spot on her skin disappeared
So, it's a possibility that she doesn't hydrate enough
I went to the drug store to buy her some Gateraid
It helps hydrating... hope it will help...
