I have gone through your question carefully and it looks like that your relative has some neurological problem, most probably a seizure. From my clinic a experience, I would advice that she should get an MRI Brain and EEG done to check the problem.
She needs to see a neurologist and till then it will be advisable that she is supervised continuously as she may have a fall in dangerous situations and might get hurt.
Also, she should not drive till you see a doctor. Only after proper scans and examination one can pinpoint the diagnosis.
Hope the reply helps you with your worries.
