ON & OFF FEVER ,CHILLS,NUMBNESS

My eldest sister had an experience of chills,fever,numbness of whole body,bp- 150/110shortness of breath last thursday-January 6,2011.We brought her  to an emergency in one of the tertiary hospital.Laboratory exam was done.Everthing is normal except lymhpcytes which is above normal.The emergency dept.did everything until her situation became normal.The doctor 's diagnosis -viral infection.He sent her home,advised for home recovery and take the prescribed medicine.Three hours after they arrived at home,her daughter gave her food but then she vomited, collapsed and even urinated.Rushed her again to the hospital ,had the oxygen and confined her. This time brain city scan was performed which turned out normal,  X-RAY was done.The doctor gave her anti anxiety meds,paracetamol and continued the antibiotic.Still, on and off fever was experienced until after @ days in the hospital,she was discharged last Saturday-January 8,2011.She rested at home,until this morning she again vomited,had  the numbness experience and the blood pressure went high.The cardiologist did not give her medicine for high blood pressure.How do you assess the symptoms and the patient's condition since we the family are in worried situation?Please give us advise on how to tackle this,what are we going to do.Hoping for a prompt response.Good day!

I am a bit confused.  Was a chest x-ray done and was it ok?  What is the antibiotic?  

What medical problems does she have?  How old is she?  

Last bp reading?  

Anti-anxiety meds?   Does she have a history or anxiety?  Sometimes anti-anxiety meds can be used for nausea and vomiting.  

Sounds like she should be back in the hospital and monitored.  

Sorry for all the questions.
