What Causes Severe Headache And Confusion?
My friend developed a bad headache. I drive him home. He wanted to show me where his father lived. When we got on that street, he suddenly couldn t figure out where he was or where the house was. Later he called me and said he found himself in the kitchen with Qtips in his hand and had no idea why.
