10 Causes of Low Blood Pressure
Cause #6: Confusion
Confusion refers to the state where one is unclear or bewildered. It is a term that is often used interchangeably with delirium where there is loss of orientation. This is the inability to place oneself in the correct location, time, or identity.
Causes of confusion include anemia, anxiety, brain tumor, brain injury, concussion, dehydration, heat stroke, kidney failure, meningitis, schizophrenia, hypoglycemia, and more. In patients with low blood pressure, the inadequate oxygen supply to the brain can result in confusion, syncope, diaphoresis, breathlessness, and more.
