Peace be upon you.
According to Grand Ayatollah Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sistani:
All scholars clearly state, based on religious texts, that the duty of someone who is obsessive about purity (waswasa) is to disregard their doubts and assume that everything they are unsure about is pure. Even if they are certain of the impurity of something—unlike most people who are aware of it—they should not take that knowledge into account and must assume it is pure. If the person with waswasa follows this religious ruling and assumes everything they doubt is pure, even if they are certain of its impurity, they are excused before God, even if their actions contradict reality and their prayers or food become impure.
Furthermore, feeling cold does not necessarily mean that water has splashed onto them, especially in a state of waswasa.
Additionally, if purification is done with a large amount of water, such as tap water, the splashed water is considered pure unless it is accompanied by visible impurity. In your case, you cannot be certain that there is visible impurity, as you are not even sure if water has splashed on you. Therefore, do not allow such thoughts to negatively affect your life.
May you be successful in all good.
