Confusion

History

A 79-year-old woman is brought to hospital by her daughter because of increasing confusion. This has developed over the last 3 weeks and prior to this her daughter says that she had normal cognitive function. She also complains of loss of her appetite, headache and muscle cramps. She had hypertension diagnosed 5 years ago and was on treatment with atenolol but this was stopped 2 months ago because she complained of cold hands and feet. Her medication was changed to bendroflumethiazide 2.5 mg once a day and she has had no problems with these tablets. She lives on her own with her daughter nearby. She neither drinks alcohol nor smokes. She is on no other medication although she takes vitamins that she buys from the chemist.
