A member asked:
What would cause slurring of words, disorientation, & confusion upon waking accompanied by incontinence of bladder apparently during sleep ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many things: including a seizure followed by a "postictal"/post seizure period. You should seek an evaluation urgently. Don't drive yourself though. If it was a seizure, you could have another one while driving and that's very dangerous.
