Hi, Thanks for contacting HCM
As u told about your mother's symptoms like nausea but i think its not related to heart attack. Is your mother taking any drug? If some medication continue than it can also causing nausea or bitter taste. Dont worry about heart attack. In heart attack, person experienced symptoms like a chest pain, headache, sweating or abdominal pain or dizziness, But your mother felt nothing except nausea or bitter taste so dont worry. But for safer side please check blood pressure once time.
