Question

A 40-year-old man with a past medical history of hypertension, diabetes, and depression is out celebrating his birthday with his family. He was in his usual state of health up until this evening when, after celebrating, he collapsed on the bathroom floor at home. According to his significant other, he was walking towards the bathroom and complained of dizziness. He slowly guided himself to the ground without striking his head. The significant other witnessed shaking of his extremities and mouth drooling that lasted approximately three minutes. His mental status remained confused and sleepy, and the significant other called EMS. What complications might this patient be at risk for?
