Please Help

My son is 19, recently he took a nap before work, woke up after a short 1 1/2 hour nap with a small fever (100 in one ear, 99 in the other), very sweaty, stomach ache, and a small headache.

He thought nothing of it and went to work.

Within 45 minutes we received a call that the ambulance was taking him to the hospital.

Once at work, he had a heat wave come over his body, he began getting dizzy, still had a stomach ache, and his headache intensified. His hands and feet locked up and his coworkers had to help him to lay on the floor. He had a pins and needle feeling all of his body, similar to when you arm falls asleep. He then lost feeling in his arms and legs. His fingers tightened into fists and bent back, and his feet pointed straight out. The left side of his face drooped and he was slurring his words. He began twitching and moving as if to roll over. His eyes them tolled back in his head.

This lasted for a short time until the ambulance arrived and they got him loaded.

The EMT tild the hospital that he had SVT at the time they checked his pulse.

The hospital did blood work, EKG, CT of head, and a dip, or drip test for blood clots. Came back that his potassium and magnesium were low. They gave his four potassium pills and a drip bag of magnesium.

They then sent us home

Two days later we went to breakfast, he started getting a stomach ache, didn't eat hardly anything, and began getting hot.

We left and while driving he said he could feel it coming on. Shortly there after we were pulled over waiting for ambulance as he was having the same issues. Extremely scary.

Again blood work showed low on magnesium, potassium was fine.

While in the hospital he had another attack.

Hospital has not been able to tell us anything.

Meeting with a cardiologist and then a neurologist.

Please help, has anyone seen this? Thank you!
