Should I worry about my dad? He seems really sick...?

My dad is 48, he works really hard, and by hard I mean he works pretty much around the clock, as a tradesman. He's always been stubborn, and never portrays any negative emotion. Lately, hes been shaking a lot, he's really thin, he limps, he's losing teeth, (they just fall out randomly), and he's sick ALL the time with cold like symptoms. Despite my family's greatest efforts to get him to, he REFUSES to go to the doctors. Do his symptoms sound serious, or familliar to any of you? I worry night and day, I don't want to lose my dad.

    Sounds like drugs to me ? Just maybe take a look into it- I may be wrong. But thin/shaking/ loosing teeth( it's only bc he doesn't take good care of them) and getting sick can have a lot to do with stress and anxiety! Talk to him about that and see what he says. Anxiety makes your immune system low- so you get sick
