Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
Please give more details.Is she Hypertensive?what is her present BP?What are the drugs she is on?Is she also hypothyroid?
Her complaint about shivering and feeling cold left side of chest below her breast is not pointing or characteristic of any particular disease .
At least x-ray chest PA view can be done to see ,if there is any lesion in the chest organs(lungs,heart etc) or parities(chest wall). Specialist in Chest and TB should be consulted first,in my opinion.
