Hi,I am Dr. Andrew Rynne (Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Tiredness And Chills Along With Vomiting?
My 73 years old wife has been getting tired easily lately and this morning she says she is freezing cold despite that it is warm in the house. She has been vomiting and her temperature is 100.8 Fahrenheit. She recently had a kidney removed because of a cancerous growth but appears to be progressing well. She says she hurts all over but doesn t claim any specific area of pain but for the last few days she had complained of back pain. I suspect the flu but I am worried about a possible onset of heart attack even though she has no history of heart problems.
From the symptoms your wife has she seems to have what is known as a gastric flu. It is a viral infection affecting the stomach causing vomiting. It is also associated with fever and muscle pain (due to the infection). She should have plenty of fluids and analgesia for the fever (eg paracetamol). It is unlikely to be a heart attack.
Kind Regards
Dr. Paul Zammit
