Nasal feeding tube complications

My husband requires a my fedding tube at the moment, he was sent home with one and asked to place it himself. Even though he followed the instructions from his doctor, after the tube was placed he suddenly started slurring his speech and becoming unresponsive, he couldn’t move ,’couldn’t control his limbs and lost control of his bowels and was about to faint. When the tube was removed he started slowly becoming normal again. What would cause this kind of reaction ?

This is a community of patients living with cirrhosis. There are no doctors here.

I strongly recommend you contact your doctors office immediately for guidance.  Please get your medical advice from your physician vs strangers on the internet.

His medical condition is not something even a medical professional could begin to address without knowing his medical history and evaluating what is specifically occurring.
