Sorry to hear this; getting older is settling in on me also. It seemed to have started at 59 when I went to get a complete physical in the Fall of 2010. I was starting a job for Amazon.com and wanted to make sure I was healthy enough. I was put on Tagament 150's for gas. Went to work for them again for the Seasonal Rush of 2011. The end of March 2012; 3.5 mos. before my 60th yr. a severe Heart Attack which left me with 3 stents; 2 in the widowmaker and 1 in the Right coronary artery. Then i was diagnosed with congestive heart failure; 1/2 of the front heart wall to the bottom don't pump fresh blood out. Short of breath; and Angina. Recently I have been diagnosed with COPD and bronchospasms. I have medications for all but sometime I think they do more harm than good.
Prayer sent for her and you and the stress can be horrendous as I assisted two family members with Alzheimer's; the last in 2007.
