What Causes Sudden Nausea And Chills?
My mom has these episodes . They usually continue for a day. She s had them about 2-3 different days since September. She says something goes through her whole body, she feels like vomiting. I was just on the phone with her when she had another. They last 5 minutes or less. She struggled with remembering her words while she recovered and was chilly. She s 84 and diabetic. I m still talking with her, she seems fine now.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The episodes described by you are more likely to be psychological rather than organic. I suggest you to get the routine investigations which include complete blood counts, blood glucose, glycosylated Hb, liver function tests, kidney function tests, lipid profile and thyroid function tests. If all the tests are within range, try to engage her in family and her hobbies.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
