For those among you with a background or education in medicine:

please read the following account written by an ancient chronicler of a person supposedly receiving divine revelation. based on this account, please make your diagnosis and determine if that person is clearling suffering from a known disease (assuming of course that he is not faking) and to which disease/s those symptoms can be attributed. please take note of the fact that it was written by an ancient writer:

he would hear ringing in his ears; his heart would beat rapidly; his face turn red; his breathing labored; he would fall to the gound or lie down; he would shake; his eyes would open wide; his lips tremble; spit drool from the corners of his mouth; he would sweat profusely; he saw and heard things no one else ever saw or heard; he would sometimes make a snoring noise like that of a camel
