Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If this is shivering then it could be due to some infection. But, it is mostly followed by fever, even chill condition has the same reason. If fever is not there then it may be nonspecific and may not be indicative of any disease.
Just to rule out the doubt of infection, you can go for routine blood test and urine test. Even endocrine test can be done, sometimes it can be endocrine dysfunction.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
