Last week all of a sudden my grandfather started acting weird. He's 90 years old. He started breathing really weird, not wanting to eat, and not being able to move around as much. This isn't his normal behavior. Well, finally it got so bad we had to take him to the hospital. They said he had a silent heartattack. We visited him and he knew who we were but he was still kind of talking crazy. Then, yesterday, (this happened sunday night) he was better. He was sitting up, talking normal, not even once talking crazy, he was eating again, everything looked up. Today he was really bad. He kept trying to get up out of his bed. He was yellin and being really mean. Then he started really talking to himself, having a conversation with my grandma who wasn't even there. It broke my heart.
I was thinking maybe its just that he has to lay around all day? That he's tired and just wants to get up and going like he is used to doing? please if anyone knows anything, please tell me, I'm so scared.

The best thing would be to take him to a doctor to see if there's anything wrong. My grandma is getting pretty old and sometimes she says some things that make no sense as well, and maybe it doesn't mean anything, but maybe there's some medical condition that needs to be looked at.

Your grandfather is old. These are the kind of things hat happen to older people that may have otherwise always had a healthy life.
Love him, care for him, and take care of him and remember him for the rest of your life.

Your Grandpa might have an early sign of Alzheimer's disese you might need to ask the doctor about this. You may even want to rule out a stroke.
sorry bout your grandpa.

It sounds like the onset of dementia. Try to understand that he can't help his actions. Just be there for him, and try to be as patient as possible
