Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcaremagic
Greetings of the day
Dear Sir

Going by description of your symptoms of unable to tolerate extremes of temperature , it he absence of any coexisting medical illness it's likely to be age related phenomenon. Strong odour Urine is likely to be due to excretion of concentrated Urine due to less consumption of water .

I would suggest you the following

1 Ensure Good intake of water : 2 to 3 liter a day.
I hope the Urinary stream is normal and there is no straining while passing urine

2. Wear appropriate clothing when you expect the temperature to be in extremes

3. Ensure good intake of fiber : 2 servings of vegetable salad and 2 servings of fruits especially citrus fruit will ensure adequate intake of fiber in diet . This will also help improve your appetite

4. Do get a thorough physical examination and routine investigation during your next planned visit to your Physician


Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Take care

Best regards
