Brief Answer:
you should check your temperature

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

shivering is usually caused by infections. Severe shaking/shivering is called rigor. Rigor usually accompanies serious infections (urinary tract infections, pneumonias, etc). You'd better check your temperature with a thermometer and if high, you should visit your doctor at once.

Kind Regards!
