Common Causes of Altered Sensorium | Identify the Reasons Behind Sudden Confusion

Altered sensorium occurs when a person experiences sudden confusion, disorientation, reduced alertness, or changes in consciousness. The most common causes include stroke, severe infections such as meningitis or sepsis, low blood sugar, electrolyte imbalances, and head injury. Conditions like hypoxia, alcohol intoxication, drug overdose, or organ failure can also disrupt brain function. Early diagnosis is essential to prevent complications and ensure quick recovery.
