Brief Answer:
Shivering

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

I am sorry to hear that you are being bothered by shivering. The shivering maybe related to an new infection. The release of the bacteria in your blood can cause a natural shivering. If you do develop fever then I highly recommend that you seek medical attention immediately as this could be live threatening.

The shivering could be anxiety. If you are having stress and the nerves your body is going to increase the adrenalin in your system and cause shivering.

Some medications may also cause shivering so if you are any please submit a list of all your medications.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions

Brief Answer:
Fever induced shivering

Detailed Answer:
I recommend that you be seen in the ER or urgent care due to your fever and shivering. you may have just a viral illness like influenza but the chills and shivering is alarming.

You can use aspirin or tylenol to help reduce your fever and chills.

Your medications are not the culprit for the shivering it is the fever.
