Last Wednesday, we took my mom to ER, she was having diarrhea and was severely dehydrated and was having sever electrolyte imbalance. They decided to admit her to investigate her condition. At the beginning the diagnosis was septic shock with sever electrolyte imbalance. Her magnesium was very low and calcium and potassium were very high. They gave her fluids and electrolyte but didn’t help her.
Her BP was very low!
Then they put central line to give nor adrenaline and put cuffed tracheostomy tube, then BP was elevated a little bit then dropped back, and found AF in her heart.
They decided to taker to ICU to keep her under close supervision. Today the nurse told me that they gave her cortisone because they suspect adrenal insufficiency.
One doctor told me that he is expecting all these changes from her disease condition.
I am really confused what is happening to my mother? Is it all from her PSP condition
