It seems now as soon as her head hits the pillow she's asleep. Have any of you experienced that with your loved ones? She is at home with me but was in the ER for one day account BP skyrocketed was given new medication to lower BP. Could the new med be a cause of the excessive sleeping or is it an indication of her condition worsening?

Since being on the new med have you taken her BP? New BP medication isn’t always the correct dosage. Sometimes (often) it has to be adjusted. Keep a log of her BP and O2 and Pulse. It will give you enough information to be helpful with how her body is responding to the new meds.
What is her normal sleep pattern? I assume it’s much less than 12 hours based on your reaction.
Usually the ER doctor expects a patient to follow up with their GP after an ER visit. Is your mom scheduled to see her GP?
