Does anyone else suffer from feeling Hot and feverish but body temp is normal or low?

I have been noticing more & more recently that I have times (often evenings) when I feel like I'm burning up, nothing will cool me down and I feel awful as if I am running a fever yet when I check it my body temp is normal or even low. (sometimes too low for thermometer to read).

I do not yet have a Lupus diagnosis as my rheumy now thinks I am more likely to be suffering from Palindromic arthritis than lupus (tho I'm not convinced)

Oh I feel like this all the time, but not feverish, just hot red and sweaty, I am worse if I drink alcohol, I can only think its the meds I am on causing it, its quite funny as I look rather menopausal .. good luck

Hi Jen, yes I have this too, mainly at night but a few times during the day, thought it might be my thyroid tabs needing upping as low temp associated with low thyroid but recent test high normal so not that. Sweaty flushes often suffered by Us Loopies but haven't heard of any one else having the low temp........sometimes as low as 34C, never above 36C. Even bought an ear thermonometer to check!

If anyone out there has an explanation I'd love to read it! Beth x

I get this feeling too, feels like flu symptoms with no temperature. I can't decide if it is associated with tiredness as it normally happens in the evening then goes after a rest. I don't sweat, just when lying down feel the room spinning! X

Yes, I DO suffer that much. I have had this problem for a couple years where I feel WAY too hot every single day, no matter what the temperature is like outside. Sometimes when I walk outside and it is freezing cold, I have to take off my jacket because I am too hot all the time even in cold weather. Whenever I sleep in my bed (even in the wintertime), I have to take ALL my clothes off AND put a fan on, and sometimes I am STILL too hot. Even if I do those two things AND have the AC on, it is STILL not enough. It gets worse every single day for me, and I feel more and more hot/ overheated every day, and I don't understand why AT ALL. Trust me, I TOTALLY understand. It is EXTREMELY uncomfortable. I have been taking medicine for it for a long time and nothing has helped AT ALL. In fact it only gets worse the more time goes by. I really wish I could find a solution to this problem

Me too. I have no clue if there's correlation to yeast but I take a daily probiotic to balance my PH. My body's PH tends to kill the good bacteria which evidently is not uncommon. . If I go to long without taking the probiotic, heat begins to feel trapped under skin. I'm starting to think it's related to high yeast levels circulating through the body.

Does that sound crazy?

That actually sounds very possible christi55555! I'm wondering which probiotics you take? I need some.

You are the ONLY person I've heard suggest that other than Me! I had a Total hysterectomy 4 years ago and I knew immediately when I woke from surgery something went wrong. My blood pressure which always runs high dropped to 40/60 and had to e given oxygen. Long story short, I've seen 8 different Dr's have continued explaining all the same symptoms but all blood work comes up Normal. Until a migraine headache sent me to the ER in January and had a MRI which found a tumor on my pituitary gland. So all the blood work did not show anything wrong. I read an article online about candida and symptoms of overgrowth as well as what all can be damaged if left untreated. But EVERY time I ask a Dr to test me for it I get "the look" of absurdity and them saying NO its Not That and I have yet to be tested for it. I wonder if there's a home test you could take or how they would check you so that I can look for it myself from the results of my blood work. If you have any other info on it I'd love to hear about it.

You need to find a naturopath or an doctor that does integrative medicine. Anyone else will look at you like you're crazy. Most of us have problems with Candida yeast. Western medicine has a long way to go in recognizing how many ailments are related to yeast overgrowth.

I lived in an apt for 13 years and was exposed to 15 different types of mold. I kept getting yeast infections and started feeling hot all day and night. I haven't worn a coat in 3 years and it is not related to menopause either. It's like flame on. I'm frustrated and depressed. It's not thyroid related either. I think you're on to something with the yeast. My doctor has no clue and at this point is useless...I'm so hot I haven't turned on the heat and my kids can't understand why my air is still on in December. I sweat so bad I have to change clothes in the middle of the night. I feel like I'm crazy with heat.

Just measured yet again and using four thermometers, I got readings of 95.7 / 95.3 / 35.5 / and 36.4. I am always TOO WARM - help!!

I have several medical conditions, but the primary one that I have is Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. One of the symptoms of this condition is my body has an inability to regulate my body temperature properly. Sometimes I'll run a low grade fever or my temp will be 96 because of it. I am lying here now feeling like I have a 104 temp, but my thermometers say my temp is 97. It's an annoying symptom. It gives me pretty rough headaches and migraines sometimes.

I'm wondering if you've found any help for this. I have the exact same problem. I am lying here feeling like I have an extreme fever but the thermometer says my temp is 97. I've been like this 24/7 since Oct 2016... 9 months. I've seen all kinds of doctors. Every test I've taken has come back negative except they did determine that I have Hoshimoto's but the Endocrinologist has tried synthroid, methamazole, Iodine, etc. and nothing helps. So now they don't think it's the thyroid, although it is greatly enlarged. Something is causing me to burn from inside. My quality of life is miserable. I'd love to hear how you are now and if you've found help. I didn't know about POTS till just now. I will have to ask to be checked for that.

I went to a chiropractor for the first time last Tuesday for nerve pain. Every since I have had migraines, tachycardia upon standing, weakness and severe nausea..can't even eat. Are these all symptoms associated your diagnosis of postural orthostatic tachycardia. I have been so sick and weak. Thank you.

I read your article two years ago, and yesterday I did my colonoscopy found my colon have diverticulitis and my problem might be the symptoms of it, sometime I am burning, but not fever, continues for a month or more, sweating a lot, I have lost some weight, then now I am fine.

Hello and yes. Feverish. Night sweats. Hot flushes in my legs. But my temp is top end of normal when I check it. But it never reflects how I am feeling. But these sensations happen when I am flaring and go when I am not. I hope everyone’s replies help you. Best wishes.

My temp is usually 96-97 degrees. In many cases it’s happening to us because our core temp is getting too cold. Any AI can have this happen. Your body protects the vital organs first. Well this doesn’t require that but it still senses that something is wrong with our body temp. So it disperses the blood to the face and extremities as if you’re freezing to death. There’s your hot flash. Another reason we should all only do gentle exercise and stay hydrated.

Almost every human has had a head injury. Broken nose, minor concussion, car accident with a little whiplash. Add an AI and you’re very likely to have this response at times. Mine happens most during change of seasons.

It’s very annoying.

Not what you're looking for?
