General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello
I understand your concern

Feeling weak,hands and fingers going numb,light headedness,dizziness,breathing difficulty.
I would like to ask you if she has ever experienced these symptoms or such episodes in the past?
Is she on any medications?
If this her first time,it can be probably due to anaemia/Anxiety attack/hypotension/electrolyte disturbances.
Please get her blood haemogram tested for anaemia.
If she has faced such episodes repeatedly in past,get her blood glucose,CT scan head,ECG done.
Treatment depends upon the cause,physical examination and detailed medical history.
Visit physician in this regard.
Healthy diet,adequate hydration,destressing by regular yoga and meditation is necessary for her general well being.

Hope this information helps.
Wish her good health.
