It maybe several things.But here's something to investigate.You may or may not have this problem.If your doing anapanasati meditation with the aim of developing tranquillity your body should be relaxed.Having intense emotions on the forehead,body shaking,and rigidity could indicate excessive effort,you may be paying too much attention on the breath in a stressful way.Notice if your breathing heavily as well.Try not control the breath.Loosen the grip.If possible repeat "calm,calm,or relax,relax,let go,let go" while breathing in and out.

This is right nor wrong these experiences come and go.

> Why are these things happening?

When you meditate you stop creating new [fabrications](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sa%E1%B9%85kh%C4%81ra). Many of these experiences are your past fabrications manifesting themselves. More details see: [That "Electric Feel" body sensation during meditation](https://buddhism.stackexchange.com/questions/3471)

What you have to do is continue equanimously without giving importance or [thinking and pondering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conceptual_proliferation) about the experience.
