What Causes Chills And Feeling Of Disorientation While Having RA And Fibromyalgia?

I m 60 yrs old, have RA/fibromyalgia/mitral valve prolapse/diver and other annoying but not deadly things. Right now I m having severe chills then later sweats. Have had esophagus problems, so difficult swallowing isn t too weird, but I m now REALLY fuzzy headed..thinking nutty thoughts and scaring myself. I teach dance and have been around lots of sick kids. But this is scaring me...thoughts?

Hello,

Chills and feeling of disorientation can be related to weakness and vitamin B12 deficiency. Decreased fluid intake and electrolyte imbalance can also cause this.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
