Question for RNs

I am a nursing student and have a medical question - it is personal not related to class. My husband has been getting chills and I don't know the cause - any anyone help? When he was 18 he hyper-extended his spinal cord (that is what he thinks they said) and went home after one day in the hospital to recover with a neck brace for a week and no sports for a year. At the time of the accident, he got the chills - a feeling that he couldn't get warm and actual visual shivers. Now he is 39 years old and occasionally he will get chills in the same way - visible shivers and the inability to get warm. They usually last for about 2-4 minutes and then go away and he is fine. He thinks it is related to exhaustion or stress on his neck/back. They only seem to happen when he has been under a lot of stress or maybe doing somthing active (like skiing) ... is this possible? I told him I would like him to go see a neurologist to get it checked out. He has gone to a GP and they have no idea what it was/is and didn't refer him to anyone. Does anyone have any ideas for us? Thanks so much!

If he still does not feel well and continues to have the shivers, perhaps he may want to go to another physician and get a second opinion or at the minimum, a referral to a neurologist. In our crazy health care system today, people need to advocate for their health care and not take the word of their physician as gospel. I would encourage him to see another physician and get a second opinion.

Good luck.

I get this way right before I get a migrane. I get very cold, can't warm up and somethimes shiver. This is the only warning I get ans it only lasts a few minutes and then once I warm up BAM I get a migrane. I have had CT's and neuro checks and nothing is wrong. If I were him I would get checked out by neuro. Or at least get a second oppinion.

Good Luck!
