Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.     These are symptoms of delirium. You need to get her treated in emergency care as soon as possible. It can cause due to multiple reasons example electrolyte imbalance, physical illness, drugs etcetera. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,      Dr. Rohit Kothari
