Question : 2 nights in a row I got to pee about2-3 am which is not unusual. By the time I returned to bed I was shaking with chills and could not stop for 10-15 minutes. Even though the covers were warm and the house temp about 65 degrees. I finally settled down and slept thru to about 7 am.

Brief Answer:
Was the urine much in volume or small?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Given your age, urinating at night might signal a possible prostate problem. In most cases, this is benign and represent an increase in size. While an infection might also cause this, the absence of pain and symptoms during the day makes it unlikely. A few more answers would be of great help.

1. Do you ever feel like the bladder is not completely emptied?
2. Do you ever feel the need to apply and extra force to urinate?

I hope to hear from you. Observe only for now. With this additional information, I will be able to provide more specification insights and establish a plan to address this. I wish you well.
