10. Talk to a Physician
If the cause of the chills isn't related to malnutrition, a temporary decrease in sugar levels or heat exhaustion, a person should talk to their primary care physician. The doctor can determine the underlying cause by listening to the patient and conducting necessary testing.
Additionally, if a person thinks the cause is hypothyroidism, it's vital to visit a physician. The practitioner can determine if that's the problem and provide the necessary treatment. Keep in mind that hypothyroidism isn't self-treatable.5Person, et al. ‘Signs You Might Have a Thyroid Problem.’ Intermountainhealthcare.org, 24 Oct. 2019, intermountainhealthcare.org/blogs/topics/live-well/2019/09/signs-you-might-have-a-thyroid-problem/.
