Why Did My Father Have Sudden Chills And Shivering ?
My dad worked all day in 110 degree weather. His clothes were completely soaked in sweat. He had a drink with alcohol after his shower. He then was eating supper and he began chilling and rocking. He couldn t get warm. My mother had him lay down and covered him in blankets. He continued to shake. He is very strong headed and will not go to the doctor , but we think he needs to. Any help would be great.
