Don't think of me as an expert but maybe you gave away part of your own energy. That would explain why your patient felt good and you suffered after effects. Most if not all of my headaches start off in the morning when i don't get enough sleep or when i sleep too much. You probably lost more energy than you usually recover during your sleep and thus, you woke up with a headache.

I am in no way a proficient meditator so what occurred rather surprised me

However, you were in a contemplative state when this happened.

A few years ago, i read an interesting story. I think the title was "Can the mind recognize itself in a model it's studying?". It was about someone who studied the current scientific models for artificial intelligence and suddenly realised his mind was confined to a similar model and because of it he coud only understand a small part of reality. He immedialy knew he could awaken (although he didn't understand where he got that knowledge) and he decided to do so. I don't remember much details about the rest of the story but it described symptoms similar to yours. His experience was especially marked with what he described as "the strange abillity to feel my own mind" which never got away. This guy was living a pretty normal life and had never practised meditation before.

It's a pity i cannot find the original story.

I am perplexed because now I can recognize many of the things and thoughts I experienced were real but also some were ego-inflated and thusly not true

I don't claim to be an authority but from what i understand kundalini is often a progressive experience. In most account i've read, it take years for people to fully integrate their experience and it's not uncommon for them to have emotional outburst or ego inflated thoughts during that integration.

I started to feel like I was living outside of my head.
for several days my body felt lifeless and extremely hot

This seem like a typical account of kundalini awakening. Before classifying this as an energy imbalance you might want to do some research on kundalini first. If i'm right, what you experience will never stop but the negative side effects will probably lessen over time.

sensations are more focused in the lower half of my body

Maybe the kundalini energy have not yet found it's way into the upper chakras.
