Have Alzheimer's Disease. Vomiting, Eye Widening, Cold Sweat. Cause For Concern?
hi, I am my mother in law's care giver. she has advance Alzheimer's and when we had her on the toilet she all of a sudden started vomiting and her eyes went really big. she has a cold sweat going. her blood pressure is okay 119/74 her sugar 11.8 (she just ate an hour ago). is there a cause for concern or is she just not feeling good? thanks

Hi,
There is significant decline in performance of daily activities in advanced alzheimers. Social appropriateness in behavior is lost as well. If along with widening of eyes there was unresponsiveness, blank stare, any abnormal movements of any part of the face or hands or legs, some repetitive or jerky movements etc then you will need to get her examined and investigated. If not then it could have been her feeling uncomfortable from the vomiting.
Hope this helps,
