Brief Answer:
Most likely related to anxiety
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and investigation reports so far.
I am glad to note that most of those are normal, except for vitamin deficiencies. These deficiencies can be corrected by taking supplements.
As of now, your chills can be explained by stress/anxiety. You may take clonazepam tablets for relief of symptoms.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
