Hi, thanks for using Chat Doctor Infections particularly if they are severe are associated with fatigue and Chat Doctor. His blood pressure may have also increased as a result of this infection. They would use meds to control it and reassess when he improves to see if the medication needs altering. Delirium can occur in the elderly when they are fighting infections. It is reversible and would improve as the infection improves. I hope this helps
