For the past 2-3 weeks I have had unusual chills. I have no fever, no aches or other symptoms and I don't feel too bad. I do work out pretty often and thought it might be slight hydration. My local doctor put me on an antibiotic for 7 days- 500mg of Levaquin. it seemed to help with the chills a little, but it seems they have gotten worse. I was wondering If I should go back to the doctor and have blood/urine collected, etc. Consistent Chills?
