From your statement it is clear that she is suffering from heart and neuro problem because of long term diabetes, high bp. She needs a private consultation for complete assessment and medication to prevent further problems.
Hello,
how long has she been on these medications? This is a high dose of 4 antihypertensive medication. I do not know why ecosprin gold was started but it is not a bp medicine. It is given after a heart attack or angioplasty. If she is taking these medicines for a long ti. E and having these numbness dizziness recently then it is unlikely due to these medicines. This could just be dehydration related due to summer or could be neuropathy or radiculopathy. For now continue the same medicines and hydrate the patient well. If she has not had a heart attack or angioplasty then ecosprin gold seems unnecessary. You can stop it after discussing with a cardiologist.
Take care. Stay safe.

Ecosprin av and clopidogrel are required after a heart attack. Avoid these medicines unless you have received a coronary stent.
Flecainide is quite toxic for people who require blockage medicines. Amiodarone is usually very effective. Amiodarone treatment requires medical supervision.

Blood thinners prevent blood clots, which can stop blood flow to the heart.
Some blood thinners thin the blood to keep blood cells from sticking together in the veins and arteries.
Doctors often prescribed medications called anticoagulants to people who have been diagnosed with some forms of heart disease.

No disease has been found. These medicines are useful after heart attack, not before. For preventing correct understanding of modern lifestyle, and appropriate modification of diet will produce excellent results, medicine based prevention is not the best.
