During Wednesday's hearing at the High Court in Kampala witnesses in court said Besigye repeatedly shouted "stop" about his legal representation before collapsing.
He was transferred to Mulago National Referral Hospital, Uganda's largest public hospital, but was refusing treatment from government medical personnel.
His wife demanded that Besigye be allowed to receive treatment from his personal physician at a private clinic rather than at a government health facility.
Reports say his sister, who is also his personal doctor, has now been allowed to see him.
Besigye once served as Museveni's personal doctor before breaking ranks with him in 1999.
