Suggest Treatment For Dehydration And Slurred Speech In A Person With Bipolar Disorder

My name is Lisa and I have type 1 bipolar. On Monday, I didn t realize it at the time but I at bipolar high with extreme cleaning. Over cleaning two bathrooms, my bedroom, and vacuuming two flight of steps. I became overwhelmed and over heated and dehydrated. My speech was was slurred and disoriented. Being a former a former c n a I knew I needed to hydrate myself and recognized I was was coming down from the bipolar high. I immediately recognized what going I took an anxiety medicine and turned on my relaxation music. Ever since I came down hard from the bipolar high and didn t recognize the high initially, my equilibrium has been off balanced. First, could that happen when coming or crashing down from an extreme high? Secondly, can the equilibrium also affect your speech beside your balance? Typically I managed my bipolar disorder pretty good. However, in this case, I was unable to recognize the extreme high. Is that normal?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

* The slurred speech and fainting was in relation to overexertion and lack of hydration level during work with underlying drug effect of bipolar disorder.

Needs to maintain hydration with plenty of liquids and dose adjustment so far as the bipolar medicines are concerned.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
