What Causes Nausea And The Inability To Eat In An 81-year-old?

I have been nauseated all day. Have not been able to at and the smell of food cooking makes it worse. I have also been having chills. I am 81 Ye wars old. Female. Have felt bad for several weeks. Vi have trouble balancing. My temperature last night was 95.6. Tonight it is 96.4. I live alone and just feel terrible. Any suggestions? I really do not want to go to the ER unless necessary. I also break out in cold sweats. Thanks.
