Electrolyte Imbalance Symptom #6: Confusion
Confusion is a term referring to the state where one is unclear or bewildered. The term acute mental confusion is often used interchangeably with delirium. Patients with confusion often experience loss of orientation and are unable to place themselves in the correct identity, place, and time.
Confusion is a common symptom associated with hypercalcemia (increased levels of calcium in the bloodstream). If left untreated, the condition may further affect the patient’s state of consciousness, leading to coma and other dangerous complications.
