What Causes Chills Along With Itching And Crawling Sensation On Skin?

I get severe shaking chills in warm room. I cover myself with blankets and continue to freeze. Then I start to get warm. As soon as I am warm, I pass out into a deep sleep. When I wake after an hour or two, I feel itchy and feel like my skin is crawling. I am very tired. This is a recurring problem.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of chills along with itching and crawling sensation on skin which seems to be viral fever or flu. It occurs due to poor and compromised immunity of body and increased susceptibility of getting infected. The symptoms can also occur due to vitamin B12 deficiency , excess alcohol and lack of sleep . I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles. Drink plenty of fluids, have proper rest. Your symptoms will resolve in 3-4 days. Take analgesic such as Flexon and take light diet. You should take anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to prevent fever and body-ache. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit general physician once and get it examined and start treatment after proper examination and prescription. Go for blood tests such as W.B.C count as well as increased count will indicate infection in body.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
