What Could Cause Periods Of Stomach Pain And Aching Along With Chill All Over The Body?
My father is 85 and he keeps getting periods of stomach pain and aching all over his body, feeling very cold and not being able to get warm. He cannot settle and goes off his food. Usually lasts over 24 hours. These episodes start out of the blue and are becoming more frequent. Any idea what this could as he lives on his own and becomes anxious.
