My daughter behaves weirdly with disorientation of place and time after taking a new BP drug. Why?

Question

Hello doctor,

My girl has been acting weird for the past two days after starting her new blood pressure medicine. She speaks incomplete sentences and tries joining together. She dropped some eggs in the grocery store and tried to pick them up with her bare hands. After that, she says she does not remember any of it, and now she is trying to confirm what she already knows, like do I have two brothers. She is mixing up her time and place. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have thoroughly gone through your case and can well understand your genuine health concerns. I recommend calling the physician's front desk and, if he says, stop giving her new medications as this may be the side effects of the medicine. You then need to take her to the physician as soon as possible so that he may manage to see if there is any brain abnormality. Maybe an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is mandatory, as is in such cases. The reason may also be due to some bleed in the cerebrum, but it looks less likely to me. But MRI can speak up about what is going on.

I hope all of your queries are well addressed.
