What Causes Body Chills And Dizziness?

Having cold chills and dizzy spells. Injected test into my left thigh on Wednesday, I can barely walk on it or move it. No redness or swelling, happened a few weeks ago also after injecting into thigh rather than buttocks. Took a hot shower this evening then left for shopping. Drank a bottle of water also. Now having pain in the thigh, and when I move my thigh hurts and I get a cold chill throughout my body, almost want to pass out. Not sure if this is flu like or from what I ate for dinner. No throwing up or diarrhea.

Hello,

Chills (shivering) are caused by rapid alternation between muscle contractions and relaxation. These muscle contractions are a way your body tries to warm itself up when you’re cold.

The medication side effect, reaction to extreme physical activity, hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
