What Causes Confusion, Slurred Speech And Uncoordinated Movements?
hi! my uncle is 70 yrs old and has been experiencing transient bouts of confusion with garbled speech, uncoordinated movement, and diaphoresis. He removes his clothes and does very odd things like knocking over and rearranging furniture. He never remembers doing these things after the fact. no medication and no real medical history, but he was told he has moderate carotid blockage on 1 side and minimal on the other. He was taken to the ER but the issue had resolved and a CT was done but no results yet. What do you think this could be? Thank you!
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your uncle's symptoms seem to be related to epilepsy seizures. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist and performing further tests (an EEG and brain MRI).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
