Hello,
Thanks for the query.
The symptoms of shivering that you are getting for so many months at this age and association with irregular periods suggests hormonal imbalance. It is most likely a part of menopause that you are going through. Episodic feeling of chills or episodic warmth (known as hot flashes) can be seen during this period.
You can consult a gynecologist/ an endocrinologist for this. Though hormone replacement was once a popular treatment, it is not preferred by many doctors and patients now a days because of possible side effects.
Hope that answers your query. If you have more queries, i will be happy to answer.
Good luck.
