Look thru her list and see if she's taking any kind of Beta-Blockers.
They are used to slow the heart rate and reduce the contraction force of the heart.
The two most popular one's being used today are
Metoprolol succinate which is extended release 24hour
Metoprolol Tartate which is fast acting 4-8 hour speed
Carvedilol which is rapid release same as MT is.
There's a whole lot of other's you'll have to do some research.
You'll notice on the generic types which is the above they will end in "LOL"(Nothing LOL about them though there serious meds)
NOTE: CAUTION!!!!!!
If she is taking them? Talk to her doc because just stopping them can cause cardiac arrest. Even just dropping the dose can cause some nasty reactions. A person has to be wheened off them in a controlled doseage to be safe.
