What could cause me to have shiver spells?

They used to be accompanied by hot flashes. My skin would go back and forth between cold and hot for about 45 minutes each temperature - on and off like a space heater for hours, days at a time. I don't get many hot flashes anymore, but I still get alot of shivers. I'm not shaking violently. It feels like when you have a fever, but I've taken my temperature and I don't have one. I am 49. Is it that, or could I have condition or disease? I have a leaky heart valve. Is it that? I've mentioned it to more that one doctor, but none have seemed concerned about it. It's been going on for about a year now.

It may be that your thyroid isn't functioning correctly. You should have this checked out by a physician though.
I've had my thyroid checked because I'm always cold and was told my thyroid function is normal.
But...my question is this: If there is an upper and lower number within which the function is considered "normal" and each human body does not necessarily conform to this set normal range, can't it still be the thyroid that needs "tweeking?" My body temperature is below the normal 98.6 anyway so maybe medically accepted normal range doesn't work in my case...maybe not in yours either.
It's a puzzlement, isn't it?

yes.
