Shaking chills

Shaking chills after srugery suggests an infectious process going on. I would contact your doctor immediately and follow-up with him. Your symptoms are not common after surgery.

Chills and fatigue

I am concerned by your description of wracking shivers. You could have an infection and need to be seen by a physician immediately. This could be related to the surgery, as in an infection, or, f you had general anesthesia, might be symptomatic of pneumonia, or it could be of entirely different etiology, with a differential diagnosis that could include lymphoma or leukemia Please contact a physician or go to an emergency room as soon as possible.

Shivers and Fatigue

Thank you for the question. Your description of your symptoms is very concerning. I would suggest IMMEDIATE consultation with a physician in person, even if it requires an emergency room visit. You need to rule out an infectious etiology causing the “shivers and fatigue”. Best wishes.
