For the last 5-6 days, my young tortoise has been acting strange. She has been pumping her limbs in and out horizontally in a strange way, rubbing her face with her front left leg (though there is nothing on her face/eye and her coco coir substrate is quite moist), and she opens her mouth for every 10th or 20th breath. 3 days ago, I came home to find her flipped over on her back -- I'm not sure how long she had been like that, though she acted mostly normal once she was put right side up. She has been eating, though her appetite seems a little bit decreased; she is drinking more water than usual, though never in her daily soak; and she seems somewhat agitated and skittish.
She was recently treated for pinworms but was just given a clean bill of health.
I am especially worried because and her behavior sounds a lot like this: http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/what-is-wrong-with-my-hermanns.9539/
