Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this could be due to general weakness her age and the viral infection may be the cause of this, care need to be taken for diet, hygiene, hydration, to rule out the possibility of central nerves system disease, better to get done the clinical examination and may need some tests, hope this information helps, take care, have a nice day.
