Not just your period: Typical symptoms associated with menstruation are pelvic cramping pain, bloating, perhaps mood changes and irritability. Headache, general achiness/myalgias or chills/shaking are not typical. I would think you have a brief viral illness along with your period. Rest, push fluids, take ibuprofen or naproxen as directed. Having two things at the same time is always a challenge to manage. Good wishes.
