Having episodes where I can’t move or speak, that all start off with me not being able to breathe properly

Little bit of a background… I’m a 22 year old male. On April 15th, 2024, I had an eardrum repair surgery due to my eardrum being ruptured and when I awoke, I couldn’t feel my arms and legs. To make a long story short, spent a week in the hospital, had urinary retention and constipation, was sent home after doing multiple MRIs and CTs, blood work, and other testing, they couldn’t figure out anything pathological or medical, insisting psychological. Developed the use of my arms again for a few weeks until May 3rd when I lost the ability to use them again as well as the ability to speak. No movement in legs still, but insane amount and severe leg pain. Spent two weeks in hospital, did the same tests, still no reason as to what happened. Went to rehab after I got the use of my legs back with high dose steroids.

I’m currently on vitamin D, senna, anxiety meds called Wellbutrin, and that’s it.

I’ve been having some medical episodes as of late accompanied by horrendous chronic pain and fatigue in my arms and legs. It’s incredibly difficult to move around still, my balance is very impaired and it’s hard to walk. I also twitch very often in my legs to the point where it makes it difficult to sleep.

These medical episodes start off with me not being able to breathe properly, I get really short of breath and my heart rate goes up, I cannot move my legs nor my arms again, and I kind of zone out a little as well as I cannot talk. It takes my husband multiple tries with stimulus to the sternum and my legs to get me going again. I had multiple on Friday last week, then on Saturday, and one episode this morning where my husband had to help me from the bathroom to the bedroom because I couldn’t walk.

I’m really scared I’m going to end up like I was a few months ago and end up in the hospital for weeks again not able to do anything but just lay there. I don’t want to go back to rehab again either. What could be causing this?

Edit for clarification: Had a catheter for over a month for urinary retention, got it out on May 17th before I went to rehab, been using the bathroom both ways now for months just fine, still needing some help in the bowel department but not much. I’m able to walk now too but like I said it’s extremely difficult. Also suffering from high blood pressure. Doctors got off the bandwagon of psychological during the May visit, they’re not insisting it is anymore.
