What Causes Pressure And Tingling All Over The Body?

My 84 year father feels pressure all over his body and feels very weak with trouble walking. He does not have slurred speech or any pain. He feels very weak. Symptoms started 1.5 hours ago but have not increased or decreased. No numbness or headache but a tingling all over his body. He says symptoms are not severe but he is unable to walk
