Why do you get cold when you feel adrenaline? What is the body doing?

I can’t be the only one right? Specifically, I notice it happen when I play fps video games. I’ll literally be shaking and shivering while trying to speak with teammates and shoot. I always have to wear a heavy jacket when I play. Also, its like ~75 degrees F where I live, so it isn’t cold here.

Long story short: adrenaline raises your temperature. Your brain responds by making your body sweat to cool you off. Sweating is something your body does to make you feel cooler when you are actually hot. So, when adrenaline raises your temp, your body will sweat to cool you off. And shivers will happen if your body cools down to something lower than the current room temp.
