HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible that the symptoms are related inadequate fluid intake and excess heat exposure from your time in the garden.

Excess fluid and electrolyte loss can cause altered sensations such as numbness and also cause fainting.

If you have tried using oral fluids and rest with no response then you may need to visit your doctor for further evaluation.

I hope this helps
