Lovenox has been known to cause Afib as a side effect, according to FDA warnings, as well as heart failure, increased risk of bleeding, anemia, and easy bruising. As to the chills, it has also been known to cause a fever.

Have you consulted your doctor about trying a different medication? There are some news ones available that might work better for you.
