Hello!
I read your question and understood your concern.
I think that this may be a viral infection. Have you had fever during this period?
I would recommend to consult with your GP, have a good physical examination and a blood analysis for inflammation.
A brain CT scan may be necessary if the neurological examination is abnormal.
Hope to have been helpful!
Thank you for using HCM!
