Basically I have noticed for the last few years that my basal body temperature is very low and I was curious :
- is it normal?
- why is mine so low?
It’s not quite low to be hypothermia but is also VERY much lower than “normal” and I feel fine.
My normal temperature is between 35.3°C - 35.6°C ( which is 95.5°F - 96°F).
Normal body temperature is usually considered to be around 36.5°C - 37°C
Which is 97.7°F - 98.6°F
This came relevant recently as I had a fever that effectively reached 39°C (102.2°F) but felt like 40° +(104°F).
But to be fair. I notice that even if I only reach 36.8-37° it personally feels like a low degree fever for me (despite low grade fever being 37.5°C).
Should I mention this to the GP? I don’t want to waste their time..? 😅😅😅
