Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

Reversible mental confusion may be a side effect of prolonged Zantac use, however other causes are to be excluded before reaching that conclusion.

It's very important that all the exams you have mentioned will be normal. I would like to check all your data in order to give you a more accurate answer.

Can you please upload the results for me?
