Why do we sometimes just shudder?

Question

is it because our body is adjusting to a temperature change? the other day i was sitting in the same room, with no changes occurring, and i gave a violent shudder. scientific explanation?

Answer 1

This could be a mild seizure because the body shivers in the cold and when you are nervous(extremely), other than that your body shouldnt shiver. If your muscles tend to twitch uncontrollably, this is a problem and you should see your doctor about it because it could be
Shivering refers to the shaking of the skin usually related to cold, or the perception of cold. A high fever can also give you the chills and cause shivering, despite a high body temperature, and there are numerous causes of fever. Other types of body motion that are not really "shivering" include tremor, trembling, twitches, spasms, seizures and so on. Shivering can be a symptom of serious medical conditions and needs prompt professional medical advice. (Source: WD Writers)

Answer 2

I cant find a scientific answer unfortunatley, except for this one below, which might interest you anyway.


however, old wives tales say that when you shudder for no reason, a spirit has just passed thru you.

on that note see what awaits you in the description below.

Why do people shudder after peeing (pee shivers) and why do some people not shudder?


The pee shivers have been a plague upon our houses for the entire span of human life, probably other life too. Few can resist the urge to shudder after the completion of a session of yellowing the toilet water. Many have asked the same question you have asked, what are the pee shivers and where do they come form, few have answered, but enough have answered for me to give you a solid response.

One theory is that the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is the cause. When you have to pee you hold it in, the longer you wait the tougher it is to hold in. You ANS is sending the signals to your bladder and urethral sphincter to hold that pee in at all costs, when you finally do pee, your ANS allows the relaxation of the urethral sphincter and the flow to begin. This switch in the ANS is thought to be the cause of the shudder or pee shiver. The longer you hold it in the greater the pee shiver will be.

If you don't like that explanation there is a theory that is much easier to explain and understand. When you pee you are expelling a fairly worm liquid. A regular shiver is the body trying to keep warm, perhaps the loss of a little hot water bottle causes a drop in body temperature and thus a shiver is produced to recover some of that lost heat. That doesn't quite explain why you still shudder in a heat wave, but then body temperature regulation is probably not an easy assignment.

Depending on what theory you believe, some people may not shiver because their ANS doesn't have that reflex, or their bodies are better at temperature regulation than the rest of us, or they're just lying about never having a pee shiver.

Answer 3

Because the human body generates heat chemically and mechanically when it rub its muscles together which is what happens when you shudder! Did you have goose bumps right before your shudder event?

Answer 4

I read in a book that it's reflex of your body to shudder under stress with cold or any other stress, much like sweating and chattering teeth...

Answer 5

well in a normally functioning body you may shudder as a reaction for being inactive for too long or for example when you have a spazm of a particular part of your body its your nervous system giving it a jolt to make sure it is getting enough circulation and this is further seen in people who have nerve damage when your nerves arent working properly such as in the elderly or disabled thats when you get bed sores or other tissue damage due to a general lack of circulation to a specific area to dumb it down even further think of it as your body giving you a mini workout

Answer 6

you have a ghost in the room.
