10 Symptoms of Hypothermia
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #5: Confusion
Our brains are quite excellent at helping us to understand the world around us. Our sensory organs feed information to the brain, helping us to understand where we are and what is going on. We take it for granted, but this actually requires a lot of processing power from the brain. If the brain begins to slow down, then it becomes harder for us to understand what is happening.
With a slowing brain, people with hypothermia are likely to get easily confused. They might struggle even with very simple things such as where they are and how they got there. This is a sign that the condition is in an advanced state and that the patient needs urgent help.
