Why would a person get a sudden chill when they're not cold? Has it happened to you just from fatigue?

You can be doing anything in a comfortably warm room when suddenly, you get a little shaking chill. What causes this? And have you noticed you can come down with a head cold a few days after this happens?

Very rarely happens with me, but when it does i’m reminded of what my Grandma used to say. Namely, when you get a sudden cold shiver it’s supposed to represent someone walking over your grave. Figuratively speaking of course. Bless dear old Granny :¬)
How can you get a shiver from someone walking over your grave if you’re not in a grave? sorry if I sound confused; tired.
My internal thermostat goes completely wonky when I’m tired, so I get chills like that sometimes. For me, it’s not an indicator of an incipient cold, just fatigue.
Did you eat something 10–15 minute earlier? Could be Postprandial shivers.
@Aster As I said it’s meant to “represent” that. Simply relaying an old tale that’s all
Thanks guys. I was just tired but feel great today! (-;
