Brief Answer:
Possible meningitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal
I have read your query.
The symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of a possible meningitis and associated dyelectrolytemia leading to weakness.
I would suggest meeting a neurologist urgently and get a lumbar puncture done.

There are other causes of course, but this is the most drastic possibility.
Therefore we need to rule it out first.

Feek free to contact us for more information. Best of luck. Dr Mittal
