unexplainable/ advice needed

I have swollen infected appendix but doctor decided to postpone surgery to know why my hands drop if extended (a long ago thing that started with palm drop right then left) ... a long list of tests was negative except LDH 250 (borderline) ... Any advice? P.S: in my life span since my teens I suffered 3 weeks - multiple episodes - paralysis or weakness of some part of my body ... all unexplainable till now (40 years). Lately, suffering from fatigue episodes and fever plus pain which might be all explainable by appendix infection.

While you are looking for answers, you can do this pranayam to help build up your immune system to fight the infection.
Do kapalbhati only for 10 strokes to start with, and increase gradually.You can do anulom vilom, as suggested.This will relax you and get extra oxygen into the body.Your feedback in 3 weeks, will help to advice further.
Build up your timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after one minute.
Kapalbhati pranayam  -(Do it before eating) Push air forcefully out through the nose about once per second. Stomach will itself go in(contract in). The breathing in(through the nose) will happen automatically. Establish a rhythm and do for 20 to 30 minutes twice a day. Children under 15 years – do 5 to 10 minutes twice a day.
Not for pregnant women. Seriously ill people do it gently.
Anulom Vilom –
Close your right nostril with thumb and deep breath-in through left nostril  
then – close left nostril with two fingers and breath-out through right nostril  
then -keeping the left nostril closed  deep breath-in through right nostril
then - close your right nostril with thumb and breath-out through left nostril.
This is one cycle of anulom vilom.
Repeat this cycle for 15 to 30  minutes twice a day.
Children under 15 years – do 5 to 10 minutes twice a day.
You can do this before breakfast/lunch/dinner or before bedtime or in bed.Remember to take deep long breaths into the lungs.You can do this while sitting on floor or chair or lying in bed.

An infected appendix can lead to a burst appendix. Then you really have a problem.
