Hi,
Fever with shakes (called rigor in medical term) could be due to a condition called Dressler syndrome. I would advise you to visit your treating cardiologist and get the condition ruled out. Pl note an immediate action is required.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
