HI
Thank for asking to HCM
This is called shivering, chilling, and more sever picture called, rigor this is common symptoms of infection and here in your case the chances of viral infection is very likely, this could be happening in functional condition also, I think nothing to worry about this, it will be fine ,if infection is not there, take care and have nice day.
