Feeling Cold, Shivering, Red Rash On Skin. Had Lots Of Sweet Peas. Reason?

my body feels very hot but i feel very cold and shivering. I have had a red rash on my skin since yesterday. Not sure if it's too much vitamin c. I dont usually take any vitamin c because it hurts my stomach but for the past 2 days i've been eating a ton of sweet peas which have 90% vitamin c in them and took a mulit vitamin....which i never do. I just can't seem to regulate my body temperature.

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, I would like to advise you that you should record your temperature by a clinical thermometer. It can be a possibility that your body is feeling hot due to fever.

Fever may be associated with cold and shivering.
Viral fever can present along with rash on body.

I would also like to advise that you should get your blood tested for :-
1. Complete Blood Count(CBC).
2. Urine examination.

If the rash is associated with fever, it will subside after fever subsides.
You can take paracetamol 500 mg for fever, if present.

Drink lots of water daily.
Eat fresh fruits and vegetables.

If the problem is persisting, get yourself clinically examined.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
