Brief Answer:
Could be due to kidney problem.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I understand your concerns but unfortunately, kidney dysfunction usually results in anemia which can lead to increased body sensation to coldness and shivering. So, I would recommend that you get a CBC blood test to exclude anemia.

Other causes of shivering include hypothyroidism which can be detected by a blood test for thyroid hormonal profile including T3, T4 and TSH and low blood glucose level which can be detected by a blood test of fasting and postprandial glucose levels...

If the shivering is accompanied with fever then this could be a sign of an infection somewhere in the body.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
Follow-up consultation.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

You will need to get a CBC and peripheral blood smear with the iron profile investigations to detect if you have an iron deficiency anemia which is treated by oral or parenteral iron supplements depending on the degree of anemia detected...

However, a multivitamin supplement containing Vit B-complex and micro-nutrients could help improve other vitamin and mineral deficiencies if present.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
No, but an allergic reaction can be possible.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Aspirin is potentially safe but it seems that you developed an allergic reaction from it. So I would recommend that you stop taking aspirin or take it in combination with an antihistaminic as Cetirizine 10mg once daily before going to bed.

I hope you find this helpful.
