What Causes Alternating Chills And Sweats Along With Headaches?
The past couple of years I have noticed that my eyesight has been going quickly. I just use reading glasses now. I am a male 52 years of age. My main problem now is for almost a complete week I have had a headache along with cold chills one minute and then the next minute i am sweating all while the headache never leaving.

Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!
The presence of cold chills and headache imply that you may have an infection present. Viral infections are most common. In most persons symptoms resolve within 1 to 2 weeks but they can be some severe viral illnesses. Since it is not clear what is causing your symptoms, it would be best to be seen. I hope this helps.
Hope this clarifies your concerns. Thank you for the query.
Take care
