Have a closer look.
I myself have at least 4 holes in my heart.
Right side intake, right side outlet, left side intake, left side outlet.
I think that makes me a two-stroke.

My favorite bike (RD350) was a 2 stroke and had reed valves

Amen.

I had 6 of them (RD350/400's) at various times, many of my friends rode them
too.

Absolutely brutal little bikes.

We had one doing 63 hp at 13,000, and the powerband was from like 8500 on;
below that you couldn't get the clutch out.

My next fave was the 650 Turbo Seca. It was like a big RD350/400 and a lot
faster.

Still, there is nothing like a 120 cubic inch Panhead in a rigid frame that
weighs 450 pounds full.

any prior activities that might be causes?

Do you think I'm sneaking a nap in on my dives?

That doesn't explain why I'm fine when I go into the water and have the
symptoms when I come out of the water.

No diabetes, mild or otherwise.

Well, I went diving the next day, did 3 or 4 dives and the day after that
and so on and so on. I do not remember being that tired again.

You mean like give up diving? ;^)

I make special effort to ensure I'm well hydrated. I am not as successful
in ensuring I am well-rested because I have had espisodes of insomnia
throughout my adult life.

I do lots of walking and dancing, when on the majority of my dive trips.
Which is at least two of the reasons, I'm not currently interested in a
live-aboard dive vacation.
