my father is 76 he was just in the hospital 3 weeks for pancreatitis he was home 3 days and was back in er with shaking and delirium. All his tests are good. What is going on. He talks all the time even in his sleep. He seems great one day and the next he is confused.
Hello, Unfortunately delirium may be caused by many things, and it will require a physical exam and blood tests to begin to sort this out. Just having a minor infection may cause delirium in some patients. Other causes are medications, toxins and metabolic disturbances. Regards
