A member asked:
Is it normal to be unable to move your arms and legs after being unconscious from dehydration and low blood pressure? and will it cause lasting damage?

Paralysis is not usual after dehydration and your medical team will be looking for the cause. Younger individuals have a better likelihood of recovery. First goal is to identify the medical problem. Best wishes!

At the time of your episode, you may have experienced low potassium (hypokalemia), which would explain the immobility, but other reactions need to be considered. Dehydration explains part of this, but not all. See your doctor and get answers and intervention,
