Health decreasing for no apparent reason

skyrim-dragonbornthe-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

I am playing Dragonborn DLC. I am currently going through one of the black books quests and even though I am not fighting my health bar keeps going down. I can heal back up to full again but it keeps disappearing. If I do not heal I will die in about 30 seconds.

I have no disease or nothing is visible anyway, no clue as to what's wrong. I can leave the black book quest or fast travel to a different location or rest for 24 hours but still the health disappears.

I had the same problem! I went into the "Sallow Regent" black book (and another one immediately after) to reset skills and change the power for sallow reagent. Struggled with trying to fix it for about an hour because my last clean save was 13 levels before. BOTTOM LINE:

  1. Go into Sallow Regent. in lighted areas you should take no damage.
  2. Go to a dark area. you should start taking damage over time.
  3. Open your inventory and read the Sallow Regent to return to Solstheim.

That solved it for me. Hope it works for you!
