Hello, Welcome to HCM. First of all thank you for sharing your concern with us . Breathing problem and shivering after an accident in cold weather can be due to following causes: 1. cold 2. lung injury I would recommend to get a chest X ray done to rule out any possible injury in chest and discuss further with your Healthcare providers. If clinical examination and chest X ray is fine then such symptoms are due to cold and musculo-skeletal injury which will resolve on it's own but first rule out any possible chest trauma as mentioned earlier . Best Regards, Dr.S.Tomar
