Do you ever get the chills inside when you are feeling really, really good?

---

Such as when you are listening to some good music, the sun is shining, you're free (it's your vacation, you've got time to do whatever you feel like) and your mind is at ease???
If so why or what do you think the chills are?
Do you believe it's something spiritual or just a physiological reaction to lots of really enjoyable things?
oh yeah, I do! Thats a good question too ive never thought about it. I think its probably some sort of physiological response to all the joy and nuetransmitters going off in your brain. its probably normal and natural to experience this. Your body has reactions that help produce emotions such as euphoria. Its like, when you get really sad and your stomach sinks, but the opposite..  (+ info)

I know well about the Pilomotor Reflexes, but all the Pilomotor Reflexes explain is Goosebumps, the rapid or not so rapid contraction of tiny muscles connected to hair follicles to cause the hairs to erect. I want to know what causes the CHILLS felt in ones spine.. preferably a scientific term or two i can research by myself if necessary.
If you find out anything let me know. I have researched alot and am writing a book about the chills. I do not believe it is emotional. My take. Contact me through my site at bottom. Thanks, Don  (+ info)

Why do i excessively sweat while i sleep and wake up with the chills and being really really cold?

---

For the past week i haven't been able to sleep very well. I wake up at least 3 times a night freezing and drenched in my own sweat. I sleep with no windows open and very light blankets, and then i wake up and i am drenched in sweat and get so cold to the point where i have chills.
It could be your menopause. There's also a condition called Hyperhidrosis - or excessive sweating for no apparent medical reason. It could one of many different infections. It's the side effect of a number of different medicines. It could be caused by any number of neurological conditions for example ME/CFS - it's one of my many and varied symptoms.

But really the bottom line to all that - go see a doctor.  (+ info)

Your brain perceived possible dange, and your sympathetic nervous sytem kicked it, activating the "fight or flight" response.

The body's physical responses to danger or a perceived threat is known as the 'fight-flight response'. As this term indicates, the body's response is aimed to prepare the individual for immediate action - either to fight or flee the danger. In other words, it is a protective mechanism - a response to ensure survival of the species. The evolutionary development of the fight-flight response over thousands of years, has ensured that it has become an automatic response to danger - hard-wired into our autonomic nervous system. When a danger or threat is perceived, the brain activates the autonomic nervous system, which controls physical activities that occur automatically - such as breathing. The autonomic nervous system has two branches - called the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system controls the 'fight-flight response' and the parasympathetic nervous system regulates functions which restore the body to a normal state. The sympathetic nervous system activates a range of complex reactions when a danger or threat is perceived. Firstly all non-essential activities are suspended and several chemicals are released - in particular, adrenalin and noradrenalin. A number of physical changes are triggered that enable immediate and fast action to occur. These changes include the following (extract from "Anxiety, Phobias and Panic: A Step by Step Program for Regaining Control of Your Life", by Reneau Z. Peurifoy, 1995):

Accelerated heartbeat: This pumps more blood to the muscles for the impending struggle.
Deeper and more rapid breathing: This insures a large supply of oxygen and is the basis of the 'pant' of strong excitement.
Increased muscle tension: This prepares the muscles for the upcoming action they will be taking.
Cold sweat: This is in preparation for the warm sweat of actual muscular activity.
Constriction of peripheral blood vessels near the surface of the body: This raises blood pressure and is the basis of 'blanching with fear'.
Shivering and raising of hairs: This conserves heat and protects the body from the increased threat of cold caused by the constriction of the peripheral blood vessels.
Dilation of the pupils: This permits a better view of threatening dangers and is the basis of having 'eyes wide with fear'.
Suspension of digestive activity: This provides additional blood for the motor muscles.
Dry mouth due to decreased flow of saliva: This accompanies the decreased flow of gastric juices in the stomach as digestive activity is suspended.
Tendency toward voiding bladder and bowels: This frees the body for strenuous activity.
These physical responses ensure an immediate response to danger. An individual can instantly respond by fighting or fleeing, and their body's automatic responses provide strength and stamina for a greater possibility of survival.

It is important to note that the sympathetic nervous system responds automatically to the brain's alarm system - which is triggered by an individual's perception of danger. The physical reactions will be the same, and of similar intensity, regardless of the level of danger. Also once the sympathetic nervous system is activated, and adrenalin is released, the physical responses that occur will continue for some time - even if the danger quickly passes.  (+ info)

What illness could I have if I experience abrupt chills that lasts for about 1 hour only?

---

I have experienced it 5 times in 5 years. I don't have any other sickness at the time. I would feel sudden chills, that I really need to lay down and cover myself up to keep my body warm. It only lasts for about 1 hour. After an hour, I would be back to perfectly normal condition. It's kinda weird because it looks like I was faking the chills. It really doesn't last very long, then I would feel perfectly ok like no fever, headache or any sickness at all. What could be wrong with me? I'm worried that I might have some illness that needs to be medicated.
It's tremors (when you're body gets extra warm the body acts cold). It could just be that you developed a quick but slight fever. That is the main reason.

Contact a local physcian and they can give you more recommendations. It's nothing too serious but you never know!  (+ info)
