What Causes Unconsciousness And Shivering?
My 76 year old nan is constantly cold, started shivering and lost consciousness in the middle of a conversation. She quickly came around again and said she was fine but she seemed to be a bit dazed and looked like her face might have been a bit numb. Should I be worried about this?
