What is Causing High Sugar and Weakness in an 87-Year-Old?

My grandmother is around 87 years old. Since last 2 days she has high sugar. She is not able to talk properly, only responding with hmm. She is having trouble eating, cough is formed in her throat. She is feeling very weak. What could be the reason? Will she be okay? What to do?

Answered on 23rd May '24

A high blood sugar level that your grandmother has been experiencing could be indicative of diabetic ketoacidosis. They can lead to clarity, speaking, and weakness. I highly recommend the specialist endocrinologist or diabetologist appointment as soon as possible for her to get a comprehensive evaluation and proper management.

I was prescribed lamictal a mood stablizer two weeks ago. My doctor just increased my dosage to 50mg from 25mg. I went to the doctor Wednesday for an ear infection and my blood pressure was high : 150/90. I have been checking it ever since and It has been the same. I checked it today and it was 160/100. I have never had high blood pressure, and its always been 120/80 or lower. I am pretty sure this medication is causing my blood pressure to be high because it wont go down. I cant talk to my doctor till next Wednesday thats when shes in the office. I cant stop taking the medication because its an anti-seizure medication and if i stop cold turkey I may have a seizure, but I dont want to keep taking it because its making my blood pressure dangerously high and idk

Female | 23

It could be that the boost in the dosage of the stabilizer, Lamictal, is causing your hypertension. It is vital you tell your doctor when you noticed the change in your blood pressure readings. Please do not alter your medication without consulting the doctor. In the meantime, it is crucial to keep an eye on your blood pressure by doing regular monitoring and looking for medical help if it remains high. You may contact a specialist for advanced evaluation and management.

Hi I am suffering from fever last 02 days like 100 & 102 & normal neck pain in mouth.. So what can I do ?

Male | 37

Your symptoms indicate a viral infe­ction. Fevers betwe­en 100-102°F accompanied by neck pain ofte­n signal the flu or a cold. Resting, staying hydrated, and using ove­r-the-counter feve­r reducers like ace­taminophen can provide relie­f. However, worsening or pe­rsistent symptoms warrant medical consultation. Don't hesitate­ to seek professional advice­ if needed.

My mother age 53 yrs she suffering chills,and feaver last 2 hours how to take precaution that cure's

Male | 35

Infections are fought by the body when it has chills and a fever. Let her know to keep warm by drinking lots of water and resting with blankets while taking acetaminophen if she has a temperature. If more than 24 hours pass without relief or other symptoms show up, make sure that she gets checked out by someone who works in healthcare.

3din se fever he Kam nhi ho rha he Aaj fever 100.8 tha

Male | 17

You've provided information about a fever lasting for three days, noting that a temperature of 100.8°F is considered a mild fever. Suggestions include increased water intake, adequate rest, and the use of over-the-counter analgesics like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to control symptoms. However, you advise contacting a healthcare provider if the fever persists or if other symptoms emerge. This guidance aligns with common recommendations for managing mild fevers but emphasizes the importance of medical attention if needed. If you have specific questions or if there's anything else you'd like to discuss on this topic, feel free to let me know!

Can I take montair lc with ors

Female | 22

It is not safe to take Montair LC with ORS without a doctor's advice. Montair LC is a drug to cure asthma and allergenic rhinitis while ORS cures dehydration. One should see a doctor who deals with lung diseases before taking any drug for such illnesses.
