Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Chills Along With Muscle Cramps In The Calves?
Last night I experienced violent shivering all over my body. Muscle cramps especially in my calves and the muscles in the front of my lower leg. When I checked for a temperature, it was 96 degrees. I had to use a heating pad and heavy blankets to get the shivering under control. Then I began to sweat profusely. I run on a treadmill every evening and sometimes I ve experienced leg cramps at night, but I ve never experienced the shivering before.
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service. I read your query and here is my advice. It is clear that you had chills and fever and shivering. A viral infection is most common cause of it. Keep yourself under observation if you develop other signs of it. Take acetaminophen or advil.
Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
