Brief Answer:
Consider checking your blood pressure
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
I am Dr Mody and I would be addressing your concern.
Considering your age of 55 years , the most common reason for the fogginess and dis orientation is new onset hypertension.
So get your blood pressure checked . preferably do a ambulatory 24 hour blood pressure monitoring as it will give us an idea about your blood pressure during sleep .
If the above is normal.
Get your eyes checked , if you have problem reading a book ( impaired near vision ) .
Lastly if the blood pressure is in normal range considering taking electrolyte along with water to keep good hydration.
Hoping i could help .
Regards Dr Priyank Mody
