At least two issues: You should be tested for obstructive sleep apnea by a local pulmonologist. With regard to the chills, you should be undergoing testing to see if you have actually have fevers or if this is due to other issues. Please see a good internist or infectious diseases specialist.

Sleep disorder: Sounds like you have a sleep disorder . I would suggest that you speak to your physician first for a general checkup and a possibly a referral for an overnight sleep study to gather more data. It's easy, and nothing is uncomfortable. Give him/her a call today.
