What Causes Confusion While Suffering From Hypertension?

my husband is having a hard time, his blood pressure was very high last week, they lowered it to a normal reading but today he was out of everything, he is diabetic and has kidney problems, he also had a partial amputation to his left foot and his right foot is infected now. My main concern is his confution and mental disability today. He could not get confortable in his hospital bed and would not make sense on anything. He takes lots of high blood pressure meds, insulin and now antibiotics for his right foot.
