Having Goosebumps From Left Foot To Head After Cataract Surgery. What Is Going On ?
My mom has been having goosebumps from her left foot all the way up to her head. This just started after she had cataract surgery on Monday. She is 79. When this happens she says she "shuts down". Now she is in hospital having tests. These spells were far and few between now they r happening ever hour. Pls advise what is going on with her. Thank you.
