These seems symptoms of anticholinergic medicine

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

All these seem to be symptoms of anticholinergic medicine that is similar to atropine.

Please attach discharge summary and the list of current medicines that you are taking so that I am better able to help.

Brief Answer:
Seen your reports

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

I have seen your reports and I did not find any abnormal results other than slight raised blood pressure of 150/90 mm Hg.
Even among medicines I could not find any with anticholinergic effects.

Are you taking any medicine apart from those mentioned in discharge summary?

Regarding urine urgency please get urinanalysis done. We may be able to find some abnormality in it like diabetes or infection. Raised blood sugar can also cause dryness of mouth.
