Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Some of the commonest causes for a variable body temperature with a feeling of weakness in a person aged as you are-
Hypothyroidism caused by
iodine deficiency
Diabetes
Endocrine dysfunction/hormone imbalance
Side effects of medications such as sedatives, tranquilizers, heart medication
Excessive calorie reduction
Living with excessive fear/stress/tension
Artificial sweeters, chemical additives in food
Sleep disorders, lack of sleep, disruption of circadian rhythms
Viral infection can also lead to
chills and
fatigue. The following things should make you feel better:
a. Take tablet
paracetamol 400 mg as and when required ( upto 4 times daily). This needs to be taken with food. This will relieve the achy feeling and fatigue.
b. Take a hot water shower and drink plenty of warm fluids.
c. Eat small, home cooked meals at regular intervals. Also, drink atleast 2-3 litres of lukewarm water in a day. This should help take care of the shakiness.
In case the symptoms persist then do consult your physician for detailed investigations.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
