Just a wild guess without anything backing it up and to get the guessing party started... something like decompression sickness?
edit: love the answers, but would rather party.
- adastra22 2y agoThere was no decompression.
- danparsonson 2y agoDecompression sickness requires breathing air at higher than atmospheric pressure, which you only need to do if the external pressure is high (i.e. when diving - otherwise your muscles would be unable to overcome the pressure difference and you wouldn't be able to breathe).
- aeternum 2y agoMy wild guess is seasickness. It's not supposed to happen to astronauts due to training and such, thus perhaps the unwillingness to say who. But tight quarters, seas were rough. You get the other astronauts checked out also just in case. I really don't have evidence for this though beyond wild speculation.

- sandworm101 2y agoThey all get space sick. Training helps with the temporary effects of g but no earthly training can prepare one's inner ear and digestive tract for 24/7 weightlessness. It happens to all of them but, conversely, they all get over it in time.
- nradov 2y agoI've never heard of anyone being hospitalized for motion sickness. Symptoms stop quickly once the patient is back stationary on solid ground.
- scarfaceneo 2y agoThat’s cause you never had space motion sickness.
