diagnostic tests for Confusion
Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Confusion.
Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing
your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information
you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis.
Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
- How long have you noticed the confusion? - to determine if acute or chronic. If acute in nature must consider delirium as possible cause of confusion. Delirium is an acute confusional state due to many causes e.g. infection, drug intoxication, alcohol withdrawal, liver failure, kidney failure, hypoxia, low blood sugar, stroke, heart attack or head injury.
- At what time of the day is the confusion worse? - e.g. if symptoms are worse in the late afternoon and at night delirium ( acute confusional state) is most likely.
- Is there insight concerning the confusion? - patients with cerebral arteriosclerosis e.g. stroke; depression or AIDS notice their confusion whereas patients with Alzheimer's disease are unaware of their confusion.
- History of head injury? - may suggest subdural haematoma, extradural haematoma or concussion.
- Medications? - certain medications may cause intoxication e.g. anticonvulsants, anticholinergics, anti-anxiety medications, opiates; or may cause confusion on drug withdrawal.
