Has Arthritis. I Shaking And Has Headache. Had Diarrhea. Reason?

hi, my dad is 07 years old in good health except for arthritis. we live in ny and it is warm andhumid for the past several days. He called a few hours ago and said his body was shaking all over, He wasnt cold, he wasnt hot, he did not have a headache or any other symptom. He has had diarrhea over the past few weeks for a few days at a time. I told him to put his sweater on, have a cup of tea and relax and take a nap. He now has not shaking but is fearful that something major is going on and is talking about going to the hospital......what is your advice...

Psychiatrist 's  Response
your father is having complain of shaking all over with history of diarrhea,

may be shaking is due to dehydration (electrolyte imbalance)
may be due to hypo-tension or hypoglycemia

as he is currently not having any symptoms, nothing is serious

it is needed to check his blood pressure and sugar first and if reports comes positive do appropriate that needed.
