According to your mother’s symptoms (memory loss, disturbed thoughts, distress, labile moods…) she might be experiencing some type of brain disorder. People diagnosed with heart disorders (arrhythmias) are susceptible to developing circulatory brain disorders, also called insults. The prognosis for the condition will depend upon the type of brain damage sustained. She must be examined by a neurologist in order to confirm or exclude any possible brain disorder.
