When he is wrapped with blankets for sometime, it gets normal after sometime. This incident has happened couple of time in last two years. His BP and sugar are normal. He has the nervous temperament. Please suggest as what could be the problem?Thanks and Best Regards Amit Srivastava Raipur, India

Hi,
From history it seems that he might be having some chronic urinary tract infection or some problem in his prostate gland.
He might require some investigations like,
Routine urine check up for infection,
Ultra sound for kidneys and prostates.
Consult physician and get examined.
Ok and take care.
