Hi lybrate-user,
your mom may be suffering from dizziness due to many causes. Since you list hypertension, depression, memory loss/amnesia as her medical conditions and that she is currently on medications like donep, lanxtra, divalprid and petril, I suggest that you re-consult the prescribing physician regarding your mother's recurrent dizziness and loss of balance as well as consciousness.
