I am a 22 year old male and for the past week I have been checking my body temps throughout the day. I noticed that my body temps in the morning have varied from 96.6-97.2 when i wake up. Now i must mention that i sleep with a fan on, to help me sleep. My body temps rise in the hour after i wake, but only by about .2 to .4 degrees. My temps throughout the day vary between 97.2-98.2 sometimes getting up to 98.6 to 99. But I have not noticed a temp of about 98.6 to 99 in the past week.
I have read of wilson's syndrome and hypothyroidism causing low temps in a person. I know these temps are not normal. I was tested a few weeks back for stds, including HIV, all negative. So I suspect possible thyroid function causing these low temps. As for the symptoms of wilsons syndrome and hypothyroidism, i would say i have been experiencing some of these symptoms for the past year or so. I have also been experiencing hair loss for the past year, which is unexplained and was diagnosed as Telogen effluvium. I have no hairloss in my family so it is odd for me to be losing hair.
Doc, whats your feedback on my low temps? Am i making more out of these temps than i need to be? I am a hypochondriac, constantly worrying about my health, constantly checking anxiety caused symptoms. But who isnt...
Thanks, and sorry for the long story.
