What Causes The Shivers With A High Temperature?

Answer

Shivering can also be a response to a fever, as a person may feel cold, though their core temperature is already elevated. Other causes may be fear, nervousness or mental breakdowns and diseases. When the core body temperature drops, the shivering reflex is triggered to maintain homeostasis. Muscle groups around the vital organs begin to shake in small movements in an attempt to create warmth by expending energy.
