Hello,
Thanks for posting the question to H.C.M. Forum.
You have not mentioned the age of your mother but presuming that age is about 70-80 yrs.
In my practical life I have seen such type of cases where patient feels such type of things which has not any relations to diseases.
So please don't take it otherwise because this is a natural phenomena.
She is taking so may medicines so confusion develops in the mind that's why she is telling such things.
A placebo is there and give her one more drug ( vitamin etc of without use but should be harmless).
If possible consult your doctor and reduce one or more drugs.
You mentioned that C T SCAN are normal, so that is a good thing, i.e. no disease but in spite off this she is in great trouble just due to confusion and irritation of drugs ( she is using).
Good luck . Love your mother and respect her , she will be alright.
