Confusion
High triglyceride levels or certain drugs can cause confusion. One type of medication treatment to help lower cholesterol levels is statins. These are a class of drugs that may reduce the chance of heart attack or stroke.
Statins may cause confusion in older individuals, and the FDA added on the drug label this risk. Other side effects include other cognitive impairments, such as memory loss. There are several types of statins doctors may prescribe. These symptoms resolve when the medication is switched.9Streja, Elani. ‘Management of Dyslipidemia in the Elderly.’ Endotext /[Internet/]., U.S. National Library of Medicine, 21 Sept. 2020, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK279133/
