Hi and thanks for the query,
the symptoms you experience be related, or not directly related to the weed. It might be necessary to clearly distinguish shivers from tremors, and knowing whether you had any fever or not. If its tremor, this could associated to withdrawal of the weed since your system was already used to , and a more gradual withdrawal could help.
In case of shivers or fever, an infectious process needs to be considered. A chest x ray should be done to rule out TB and any other indirect signs of lung disease/tumours/chronic bronchitis/pneumonia.
I strongly recommend you consult a pulmonologist or internist for a proper clinical review and counseling. Kind regards.
