Shivering can also be a response to fever ...
2. Cold-Weather Workouts. A workout in cold temperatures can also induce chills quickly, especially when you push hard and then stop. Active muscles produce heat, but once you stop exercising ...
Chills occur when the hypothalamic temperature set point is suddenly elevated. [2] This could occur due to several causes, including tissue destruction, pyrogenic substances, or dehydration. [2] Due to the body temperature being below the new set point, body mechanisms of raising body temperature, including vasoconstriction, and shivering ensue ...
Other than a low body temperature, signs of hypothermia include feeling cold, sluggish, slurred speech, disorientation, uncontrolled shivering or having trouble thinking clearly. Hypothermia is ...
