Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Take her blood sugar at fasting of minimum 8 hours, then sugar level 2 hrs after a meal and repeat this for 3 days. Show this chart to your local doctor after the tests done. If sugar is low, then I will recommend insulin assay and CT abdomen to rule any adrenal gland problem. Laboratory tests as serum cortisol, serum Na, and potassium needed to diagnose Addison's disease.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi
