Suggest Treatment For Chill And Shaking

Last nite I was somewhat cold but suddenly I was chilled and shaking and could barely get to bed I was so numb and cold. A heating pad did little good but shaking so much I could not get up and get additional covers.
I am 75, have pulmonary hypertension, weigh 170 and am 5' 4" high. Look healthy and do mainly what others my age do, except I take my time when I work. Have HB pres.,
fibromalgia, neuropathy, and restless legs and take appro. med., but none for pulmonary hypertension with 45 pressure.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
I think with all the history you have provided, you should get a physical / clinical examination done, routine blood and urine tests and ultrasonography done. There is a chance some problem like urinary tract infection or so may be picked up.
