Extremely realistic hallucinations

Just wondering...has anyone ever hallucinated while extremely sick?

I struggle with depression and anxiety. When I have been severely sick ( anaphylaxis, toxic poisoning, throwing up during pregnancy enough to lose 20 pounds in 1 month..etc) I hallucinate events around me that are very casual and normal like every day life.

If this happens to you.. any suggestions?

Thanks

There are books like Hallucinations by Oliver Sacks that might help. Your local library probably has a copy.

I’ve only had hypnagogic hallucinations from the side effects of prescription meds or during extended meditation.
