If You have been diagnosed by Hashimoto s thyroiditis it certainly seems to have a relation with hypothermia ie low body temperature.Even if REM sleep has got a relation with hypothermia as the body takes rest from all the physical activity that produces the required heat,the core temp of the body drops down at night,in general.But still confirmation of relation of your problem with Hashimotos must be reevaluated with all the required physical examination and its sequence of presenting symptoms.Beteer go for the required medical check up again for the relation of this problem and the degree of temp drop down in relation to time and routine.
You seem to show up mild temp drop down at night,so the best way is to create a active and passive rewarming techniques like wear comfortable warm clothes like sweaters and socks and bed warmers.Take luke warm water before you get to bed.Use hot water bags and let all the extremities like fingers of hand feet be regularly rewarmed.Use an centralised air conditioner set to a bit higher than the normal room temp-39.Continue with the medications prescribed for thyroid problem.Talk to your physician for more details to manage hypothermia.
Hi.
Low body temperature, can be seen in hashimotos and hypo thyroid disease.
When do you take your thyroxine?
I have thyroid disease, and its very strange but my body temp drops low at night,
Have you had your bloods done like TSH, FREET3, AND FREET4.
I know hashimotos can be really hard to control due to the swinging of the thyroid going hyper and hypo.
I will try to do some research on this and get back to you.
I am very interested in your post.
Thanks Nicola
Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
If your doctor says your thyroid is under control then other causes will have to be ruled out. These include Vit B12 deficiency, liver diseases, adrenal insufficiency, liver failure and as a side effect of some drugs. Vit B12 deficiency causes feeling cold, tiredness, dizziness etc. Low intrinsic factor in gut that hampers absorption, pernicious anemia, parasites in the gut, diet poor in Vit B12, Crohn;s disease, IBS, or poor metabolism by liver are the causes behind it. Please consult a doctor to rule these out. Take a diet rich in Vit B12 which should include meat and animal products, cheese, such as beef, liver, salmon, cod, and eggs. Take B12 supplements and breakfast cereals fortified with vitamin B12. Finding the cause is important.
Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
