From the information you have just given I would be willing to SAY (not to diagnose) that your mother could be suffering from this conditon called: Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrom (HPS)


The first symptoms of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) may resemble those of other common illnesses. HPS symptoms usually begin from 1 to 5 weeks after exposure to the virus and usually last 3 to 5 days (prodromal phase). Symptoms that almost always occur in the early stages of HPS are:

* Sudden fever.
* Muscle pain (myalgia), especially in the thighs, hips, and back, and sometimes in the shoulders.
* Fatigue.

In the early stages of HPS, about one-half of the people also develop:

* Headache.
* Chills.
* Nausea and vomiting.
* Diarrhea.
* Abdominal pain.
* General feeling of being ill (malaise).
* Dizziness and lightheadedness.

Other, less common symptoms of HPS that may occur include:

* Joint pain.
* Chest pain.
* Sweating.

About 4 to 10 days after the initial symptoms appear, late symptoms usually develop, including:

* Shortness of breath.
* Coughing.
* Rapid heartbeat and rapid breathing, indicating fluid buildup in the lungs (pulmonary edema).

Once these symptoms develop, a person's condition rapidly deteriorates, and hospitalization within 24 hours often is needed. Even people with mild cases of the infection need to be treated in a hospital.

HPS may be mistaken for other conditions with similar symptoms, such as the flu or pneumonia.

I hope that this has helped and I hope that your mother is going to be just fine.
Remember if she has a fever I would take her in to the ER just to make sure she is okay. If not she still needs to make an appointment with her doctor to eliminate some potential problems such as the one listed above.

Has she been around mice. Because I heard mice spread hantavirus. the signs of stroke are: one sided weakness or paralysis, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, confusion, difficulty walking, visual disturbances or blindness in one or both eyes and severe headache.
