please bring your mom to clinic for proper and thorough checkups
might be heart related issues
how did your mom know bp was 150? she have devices at home?

better go seek professional advise..might me heart related issue..
dont delay..

could be anxiety attack. go clinic to confirm.

It could be a symptom of something. Instead of checking with the forum where no one here is medically-approved to give you sound advice, please bring her to the clinic and get a proper diagnosis from the doctor. Sometimes we may dismiss such occurrences as random and small, but you'll never know that it could be symptom to something serious.

Don't let her eat salty food already. And sleep early. Sleep one side, don't sleep straight (sleep like "recovery position"- is to let the airway open).

Yeah, she have devices at home, my father have serious sickness for long time already, need to use every day.

This morning my auntie already bring my mother to clinic. Doctor suspect it is stress and not enough sleep. Also suspect cholestrol level is high, but test result is only 4.7. Doctor still give her cholestrol pill for 1 month. Everything is just suspect, i also worry there may be some more serious illness that difficult to diagnosis.

Noted. Recently my mother have to take care my father who have serious sickness, mid night and early morning have to tube feed high nutrition milk to him. So my mother getting very less and non consistent sleep hours.

If you suspect this doctor could be wrong in his diagnosis, seek for a 2nd opinion, or even a 3rd opinion. There's no harm in checking with another 2 doctors just to be sure. Some doctors are more observant and experienced than others. If the doctor isn't sure, he will request CT scan/ x-ray etc to be done and if you have financial issue, they will possibly refer you to Gov Hospital and give you a letter.

You can't just walk-in to a Hospital and ask to see the doctor. Most of the patients in hospital were referred by clinics for more serious issues that clinics are unable to treat/ diagnose. In fact, appointment with doctors has to be made way in advance in Hospitals and you can't just walk-in. Unless TS's mother went to the Hospital due to emergency and she will be checked by the MO (medical officers) there. Even so, if your case is less serious and there are urgent cases to attend, you're left to wait at the Emergency room until someone is free to see you. That's how it is in Gov Hospitals, unless you're referring to private Hospitals.

Better check insurance whether it's claimable; and we cannot assume TS's mother has Medical Card.
Also, don't make assumptions on death rate vs ghost festival. The festival is only related to Chinese, not everyone in general. Unless you have valid figures from MOH to back up the numbers, better not drop any guesstimates.
