What Causes Severe Warmness Inside The Body Of An Elderly Diabetic Woman?
My mom is experiencing heat on the inside of her body starting at her toes and moving up to the top of her head, as well as an overall tense feeling, it has happened twice today and is really concerning her. she is 80 years old and a controlled diabetic. What should I be concerned about if anything. thank you for your time.
The most probable causes I can think about area as follows: Some sort of systemic infection. Malaria or so. Anxiety and stress. All this can be diagnosed by the following ways: Get the recent blood sugars, urea, creatininethyroid functions. Send the blood samples for culture and sensitivity if there is fever or so. Consult a Physician for clinical evaluation, examination and proper management. Counselling may be needed if all the reports are normal. Also to consider diabetic neuropathy as probable cause and medications as needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. T Chandrakant, General Surgeon
