My reaction is that sometimes it's possible to overthink things.

Delirious is not insignificant.

I would suggest that anyone genuinely doubting their own medical condition, which it sounds like you were, should seek assistance from the crew.

They have access to medical resources that can help assess, possibly even directly in the cabin.
