<human>: My mum said she had a cold but when I saw her she didn t seem to have any cold symptoms, but she had a fever and said she had aching legs and pins and needles, she was very tired is it more than a cold? She is 81 and is alergic so cant have a flu jab. i amworried it s her heart?
<bot>: Hi, Is she diabetic? Usually pins and needles sensation in legs occurs in diabetics while the feeling of cold and tiredness is peculiar for hypothyroidism. You need to get a complete blood count, ESR, thyroid profile and blood sugar estimation done. Symptoms are non-specific and requires complete history along with above advised tests to reach out for a diagnosis. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
