BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring is undergoing tests at a Bismarck hospital.

A statement from the state Agriculture Department says Goehring was feeling tired and felt an unusual sensation in his hands and feet. The department said Goehring worried about a reoccurrence of Guillain-Barre syndrome, a paralyzing condition in which the body’s immune system attacks its peripheral nerves.

Agriculture officials said Goehring was diagnosed with the condition about 18 years ago.
