dtvonly Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) This happened two nights ago. I was in the room watching TV but all of the sudden I felt cold from "the inside out" from which I started to shiver. I am physically fine. I do not have a cold or any physical illnesses. I was not watching a horror movie. In fact, I was watching a hallmark (light) romantic movie. I do understand the "chills" from a very cold day but what is going on with feeling it from "the inside out"? Please explain. Thank you.

Raider5678 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 LMGTFY Chills (shivering) may occur at the beginning of an infection and are usually associated with a fever. Chills are caused by rapid muscle contraction and relaxation. They are the body's way of producing heat when it feels cold. Chills often predict the coming of a fever or an increase in the body's core temperature. Whether you felt cold or not, your internal body temperature could have been even a fraction of a degree off and you would have gotten a chill.

StringJunky Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Maybe it was a psychosomatic response from watching the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKrettin Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Perhaps somebody trod on your grave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 There are a bunch of things that can cause chills when it isn't cold, from lack of sleep to low blood sugar. You don't mention taking any medications, but it could be a reaction to a change in meds. As Raider5678 mentioned, it could be the beginning of an infection as well, so if it persists you may need to see a professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrP Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 As long as they aren't multiplying, or you'd be loosing control... be careful if this is the case as I think they can then be electrifying... and then it's like ' oo, oo, ooo'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NimrodTheGoat Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Maybe it was an unconditioned response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider5678 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Maybe it was an unconditioned response. I actually get chills on a regular basis, multiple times almost every day. It doesn't bother me much. I'm not sure why, but as I googled it it mentioned about an infection. I have an infection under my skin, and it's been there for months. I'm currently taking medication to cure it, but it's already caused massive tissue damage that will likely never fully heal. But the reason I'm getting chills might have to do with that. But either way, if they persist, do as Phi says and go to a medical professional. You don't want what I got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
