Chills without fever
My sister moved to Germany for higher studies two weeks ago. Although it’s summer, the temperature can drop as low as 4°C. She’s been experiencing sudden chills — feeling cold all of a sudden — several times, even indoors, without having a fever. During these episodes, her heart also beats faster than normal. Her medical insurance is not yet activated to get this checked. Is this something to be concerned about?
