Hi,
In your case probably you kept the arm on the edge of a bed or chair. This position can cause pressure or irritation of the nerves causing tremors which feel like shivering.
Since it never happened again means that there was no pressure on the nerve again.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
