Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that shivering may be a sign of anaphylactic shock or infection.
For this reason, I recommend bringing him to the ER for a physical exam and some tests:
- a chest X ray study
- a resting ECG
- a complete blood count, PCR, ESR
- blood electrolytes
- fasting glucose
- kidney and liver function tests.
Meanwhile, I recommend you to closely monitor his blood pressure, heart rate and body temperature.
He may need to take steroids or antibiotics.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
