Brief Answer: Respiratory condition/infection needs diagnosis Detailed Answer: Hello sir and welcome. Thank you for writing to us. The cold is obviously a home-made diagnosis sir. I would recommend a visit to your doctor, as various respiratory tract infections can result in lethargy and severe weakness that can also restrict or inhibit normal breathing for an individual. This difficulty in breathing can result in exhaustion and also in a reduced delivery of oxygen to the brain and lungs. This in turn can cause the tactile impairment, which was indeed temporary. This is one of the possibilities that could have resulted in such a presentation. I do not wish to alarm you, but other possibilities include a circulatory abnormality or one to do with the cardiovascular system. This is why I wish to confirm the respiratory condition which is more likely taking into consideration her respiratory and cold-like symptoms, in order to rule out these more serious conditions. I hope you understand why I am requesting a visit to the doctors. I hope this visit to your doctor helps clarify our doubts, and in turn also leads to a prescription of medications that help your wife recover rapidly and more effectively. Please also feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help you sir. Best wishes.
