A member asked:
How come people shiver suddenly even when theres not a chill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Involuntary: Most likely not serious. Fight, anxiety, menopause, fever, sudden drop of temperature are common causes. Movement disorders should be suspected if "shivering" is prolonged or repetitive, especially in situations which don't fit the above mentioned causes.
