My husband is experiencing something similar. We have been practicing bikram yoga everyday for a little over a month. Sat. he couldn’t get through the beginning breathing exercise, he was unable to do the deep breathing so he left class. Later he complained of a headache and pain in the back of his head and neck. He took a couple of advil and seemed fine throughout the day. In the evening around 7:00 his headache returned and he took two more advil and went to bed. I went for a walk with our dog and when I returned he was in the kitchen and trying to pour a glass of orange juice, spilling it all over the counter. His speech was slurred and he was very weak and needed assistance to walk. He refused to let me to take him to the ER and in the end I called 911. At the ER they gave him mega tests EKG, chest x-ray, cat scan, blood and urine tests. The doctors were unable to find a cause and he was treated with an IV for dehydration. Stroke was ruled out and they suggested it could be dehydration or some kind of viral infection. During the evening he was too weak to sit up and stand up on his own and slept throughout the time spent in the ER. At 7 in the morning he was admitted to the hospital. He slept until 12 and was seen by a neurologist. At this point he was now alert and able to walk on his own but lacked his normal energy.He suggested to the doctor that he be released since he now felt much better. There was no conclusive evidence as to what had happened to my husband so they released him with the recommendation he follow up with his primary care doc. He was low energy and slept most of the day and about 1am he got up went downstairs and he fell missing the bottom step and got up on his own poured some orange juice and sat on the couch. He was holding his glass with two hands and having trouble holding it up to drink, he was almost back to a the same state prior to the ER visit. He decided to go back to bed and was able to go back upstairs gripping the rail. He is sleeping now. I checked on him about a 1/2 hour ago and he was able to sit up on his own but is extremely tired and is sleeping again. Any thoughts? I’m thinking he may be still recovering from severe dehydration.
