My boyfriend has been sweating all night. he is extremely hot (all body) but he is shivering. he has no fever. he feels a small pain on his head.

He needs a DR: How long? Days? Months? Too many blankets or a hot room? Soaks the bed? MANY possible causes including panic attacks or night terrors, tuberculosis and other infections, lymphomas, disordered nervous system, hormone disorders, etc.
