What Causes Uncontrollable Body Shivers While Having COPD?
My husband is 73, and woke up with uncontrollable shivering. He does not have a fever, and has not been sick. He does have copd, and a heart condition. He has a defibrillator. Should he be seen in the ER, or can it wait until daytime, and see if it is still happening? Is there anything we can do to make it stop?

Hey there,
With history of COPD and Defibrillator you must go to ER now only.
As it could be anything we can't explain online.
