What Causes High Body Temperature And Shakes?

When I got to work this morning I felt fine. Then 5 minutes later my body felt like a heater. I was so hot, I was shaking, I felt like I was going to vomit everywhere and that I could use the bath room a million times. But I didn t feel the need to urinate. I left work came home and slept for about 6 hours woke up and felt fine. Now I m starting to feel like that again. Why is that?

Hi,

Fever with shakes (chills) is mainly due to infection. In most cases the infection could be Malaria or Typhoid and in some cases it could be due to urinay tract infection. In rare cases it could be viral infection and other causes.

Action to be taken:
1. If you have a thermometer at home check your body temperature. (Either under the tongue or underarm temperature)
2. If you have temp more than 100 seek medical help.
3. Investigations (Blood: CBC, MP, Dengue, Widal test, Urine routine) may be helpful in diagnosis.

Take care
Rajesh
