Hi lybrate-user,
your mother shouldnot stop the medication wihout consulting her doctor.
Stopping a bp medicine suddenly is very dangerous for her-- it can cause paralysis, heart attack, kinney failure etc.
So unless a doctor tells her to stop it donot stop, dose can be reduced if the bp is low but a gradual reduction in dose under close monitoring is important.

Hams Stretching.
Sports Taping.
Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment where a limb or the entire body is immersed in warm water followed by the immediate immersion of the limb or body in ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.
