What Causes Severe Chills?
My wife, age 75, will suddenly get very cold to the point she feels sick. Clothing doesn t seem to help, if fact if they are cold , she won t wear them. They have to go into the dryer first. She does have dementia which might be a factor. Blood test for thyroid condition, etc. revealed nothing and showed her to be in good health overall. ???

Hello,
Considering her age the cause of feeling of severe chills may be autonomic neuropathy. You should consult a neurologist for further management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
