What Causes Severe Rigors?
Hi, felt sick at trade show this afternoon. chills, light headed, numbness in fingers, extreme fatigue. Went to hotel and slept 3 hours, w sweats. Woke up hungry and felt better after chicken soup, then ate a little more later. Had extreme night sweats and woke up again feeling better. Then was woken up just now by a severe case of rigors, which I ve never had befo4e. After about an hour they are starting to subside. Very scary!

Hi,
It seems that you might be having viral fever or having malaria producing fever, rigors and headache.
Take ibuprofen, paracetamol as andwhen required for 2-3 days.
If there is no improvement then go for checking of blood like CBC and malarial parasites.
Take plenty of water and keep well hydrated as medicine will give profuse perspiration.
take light diet.
Ok and take care.
