What Causes Fatigue Along With Confusion And Fainting?
My sister-in-law, age 52 just got over the flu, however, she has been taken to the emergency room everyday for the past 4 days due to becoming weak, incoherent and passing out. She stopped breathing a couple of times. They did a spinal tap to rule out spinal meningitis - it has been ruled out. Any ideas....

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I think she is having neurological complications. As she stopped breathing for a couple of times, so she must be hospitalized at the earliest. In flu, only symptomatic care is given but in some cases, needs hospitalization and close observation.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
