Could be dangerous: at your age, BP should be much higher, at least 110. The fact of shivers and coldness suggests an infection which could be sepsis, a serious emergency. You need an exam to determine cause, preferably when you are having the symptoms. Meanwhile, keep a diary of when they occur, and drink plenty of fluids, especially salty broths or tomato or V8 spiked with salt. Drink at least 8 glasses today.
