                                    Brief Answer:
Possible viral infection...
Detailed Answer:
Hi, 
Having chills and body aches indicate for flu although no fever or cough. Perhaps, you are at the beginning of a viral infection. Unless, you have been work-overloaded recently.
Please take: 
- plenty of juices (tea, water, fruit juices)
- otc acetaminophen/ibuprofen for the aches
- light meals
- vitamin C supplementation
Wish fast recovery! Let me know if you need further assistance!
