What Could Cause Shivering?

Hello Doctor,

I am a data entry operator and aged 50 years. Before I wake up and get conscious, i feel my whole body shivers and shakes either in the midnight or morning. After this shivering, I could not sleep for another 3-4 hours. This happens, especially when i feel weak. What is the reason and which specialist I have to consult.

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
The cause of shiver , if not stress and psychological , should be investigated.
The probable causes are :
urinary tract infection/ close cavity infection in liver / lung or so/ some general diseases like malaria..

You have to undergo a proper clinical examination to be done by a Doctor who can catch many of the problems on your proper history and physical examination and can then guide for further investigations and treatment.
