Hello,

If there is no fever associated then your symptoms can be due to hypothyroidism,anxiety and panic atteacks,hypoglycemic attacks,hyperhydrosis(excessive sweating) and premenopause in women.Sometimes, patients who have recovered from a febrile illness continue to experience chills in the convalescence period.

It is advisable to first have the investigations for fever like ESR,complete blood count,blood culture,blood test for malarial parasite,widal test,x-ray chest or sonography to exclude any of the pathologies associated with fever.If negative,then other causes of such symptoms should be looked for.For this, a physician,s consultation will be the best.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted if you have any additional queries.
