Suggest Treatment End Stage Of Renal Failure And Orthostatic

My husband is a 55 year old male, with end stage renal failure. CHF and orthostatic b/ps. He s also diabetic. He fell a week ago Sunday , hitting his head. His movement behavior has become erratic and unstable, with head bobbling, arm movements as if fluffing something off him. Inability to sit, stand or lie down for any length of time. Severe leg movements. Hugging himself or poking. It s not conducive with subdural hemotoma. The meds he takes would not cause this to happen. Chlonodine, amlodipine, protein packs. Frosrenal, lasics, and insulin pen. He only takes mitodrine, or minoxidil as needed. For high or fall in b/ps. He s had pain management meds, but they re use is sporadic. It s been several months.

Urologist 's  Response
Hi and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
Your husband has multi-organ involvement,which is not a healthy condition.
He'll need to be under medical supervision for continuous monitoring.
A repeat MRI brain will be needed,to re-assess the hematoma.
The further treatment will depend on his progress clinically.
The vitals like B.P. and his neurological condition,will decide treatment.
If you've any other doubts,send a direct question to me.
