Last night, I suddenly experienced a strong shaking chill that lasted for about 3 to 4 minutes. It was pretty intense and I'm a bit concerned about what might have caused it. Could it be something serious or is it just a one-time thing? Would love to hear your thoughts on what might have happened and if I should take any precautions or seek medical advice.
