What Causes Cold Sweats In A Paralyzed Person?

Hello..I am a quadriplegic,paralyzed from the chest down. The last two weeks I’ve been feeling goosebumps, cold sweats. The bad this is I can’t feel pain so I can pinpoint where the problem is. I went to the dr but they didn’t find anything wrong but I know my body, it’s not normal. What can I do?
