Severe chills with violent shivering are called rigors. Rigors occur because the patient's body is shivering in a physiological attempt to increase body temperature to the new set point. Located in the posterior hypothalamus near the wall of the third ventricle is an area called the primary motor center for shivering.
Body chills are commonly caused by cold external temperatures, or changing internal temperatures, such as when you have a fever. When you have chills without a fever, causes may include low blood sugar, anxiety or fear, or intense physical exercise.
