4. Toxic Metabolic Encephalopathy
Toxic metabolic encephalopathy can occur when there is a chemical imbalance in the body. A chemical imbalance might be caused by toxic chemicals entering the body through the food that you eat or the air that you are breathing. Infections can also cause a chemical imbalance in the body. When the chemical imbalance affects the function of the brain, toxic metabolic encephalopathy occurs. This may result in a person experiencing memory loss, change in personality, stroke, heart attacks, and other serious health conditions. If you are exposed to chemical toxins or if you are suffering from an infection and notice that you are experiencing some of these symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible to determine the underlying cause. Allowing these chemicals to continue to be imbalanced can result in many unwanted health conditions, which is why determining the underlying cause is extremely important.
