Fevers & chills at night on & off for a year...worried sick!

Last year I started getting random fevers in my sleep and chills. I was worried sick! I was referred to hematology and had a chest xray and lots of bloods done. All was normal and I was signed off back to my GP. My symptoms had been going on for around 6 months but settled for a few months and I got on with life. In the last few months its all come back again which has made me worried sick!! I wake in the middle of the night with chills, my whole body shaking and shivering. My skin is hot and sweaty and my temp is usually around 37.5-37.8 at the highest. Its stopping me sleeping and really stressing me out. I called my doctor today and she's going to contact the hematologist and see what her opinion is. I am obviously freaking out as this has been going on over a year now.

Has anyone got the same symptoms? Its so hard to stay off google and keep sane :cry:

  • Hi Smoore921,

    I'm sorry to read about the difficulties you're having. It's good that your doctor is following this up - hopefully you'll be able to get some helpful information soon.

    In the meantime, do try to steer clear of Google as it's not possible to self-diagnose, and the information tends to be irrelevant or outdated.

    Wishing you all the best,
