Is Dilaudid slowly killing my grandmother?

My grandma has been medicated with 2mg of dilaudid IPV several times a day for several days. She is experiencing "low blood pressure" lightheadedness, nausea, severe itching to the point of "bruising" her arms from scratching, shallow breathing, lowered heart rate, and lower o2 levels. Should this medicine be replaced? Is there danger or a negative reaction because she is very frail, 79 years old, and has emphazima, and obstructive pulmonary disease.??? PLEASE< some-one answer me. The nurses and doctors tell me that this is normal. Michelle
