Constant High Core Body Temperature/Not Fever
I am a 32 year old female, recently (January) off the birth control pill suffering from a core body temperature that always lies within the range of 99.0-99.6
I never had this problem until getting off the pill, and actually have always felt more cold than warm. I feel constantly warm, and if it is hot outside I hate it, I feel too hot. When others are comfortable I feel HOT.
I had my thyroid checked and it is fine.
My obgyn has no answers for me but to say it sounds similar to pre-menopausal symptoms (feeling hot).
She said a possible imbalance in the hormones from being on the pill could maybe affect me, but by now (being off the pill since January) my hormones should have righted themselves.
My primary doctor said it is nothing to worry about since it isn't too high... it is not a fever... but it is really annoying and uncomfortable and I can't possibly be the only one who has this problem???
Clearly something is differnt than before or not functioning as well... what could it be???

I'm thirteen and my temperature never drops below 100, help, anyone? I'd appreciate it... This started when I was twelve.
Hello, i have googled this specific question with the intention of answering all the queries that exist on the web with regards to this question because i myself had been suffering this for the last 4 months and it made me feel really sick, uneasy and tired and i hated the feeling of having to always keep myself in cool places and have to have three baths a day to just feel normal.
I finally found the cure in an unlikely place. I have always had a little feeling of sickness when in warm places since a young age, but it got really bad 4 months back and every normal doctor i went to did all medical checks but all parameters such as blood pressure, temperature, and blood test etc were normal but i still was feeling heat, since i am in india somebody suggested i visit an ayurvedic doctor(ayurvedic doctors are doctors who prescribe medicines and treatments according to an ancient indian text called the ayurveda http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda)
So i made the trip to a well known ayurvedic doctor at the ayurvedic rejuvenation center at an ashram and the doctor there just felt my wrist and started her diagnosis, and without me even telling her the symptoms she said everything is normal but there is a lot of heat trapped in your system and she said it is not a very rare problem, she said that no mainstream medicine doctor has been able to diagnose it till date cause there is no such thing as body heat in allopathic(mainstream) medicine there is only temperature, she said in ayurveda it's called ushna(heat) and she said no need to go into the cause of it just have these ayurvedic medicines and i have been having them for three days now and i can feel the heat slowly leaving my system, i am suppose to take the medicines for 40 days but just today being the third day i am already feelin 60% better and ease has returned to the whole body and she also gave me some medicines to repair the minor damage to the system from this heat, so i would like to suggest to anybody who is having this problem that if no doctor is able to help then please no matter what country you are in please look for a good ayurvedic or siddha(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siddha_medicine) doctor, nowadays they are all over the world.
hope you'll all get okay soon cause i have been through the frustrating experience of going to many mainstream doctors and not finding a solution till this happened and i feel like a real fool for doubting that any alternative medicine science could actually have something very simple but powerful in it.

Living in Australia too with the same high body temperature problems. Makes for misery particularly in summer. Would be interested to hear if anyone has made progress into research or if anyone has received help for similar condition.
I'm 26 and have not been on any birth control for over 5 years and have had this problem for as l can remember!! my temperature never drops below 99.6 summer time is torture for me- I get sunstroke within 10 minutes of direct sun exposure unless I am constantly submerged in water(an outdoor pool etc) Nobody seems to have any answers for me either... At least I know I'm not the only one in this situation now...
I have this issue to. I'm a 28 year old Female. I do get anxiety attacks at least once a week , sometimes more. I went to the doctor 3 times in the last 4 months and my Temp is always 99.5. My nurse today told me it's my normal temp. I'm having a hard time believing it's my normal temp.. I don't feel like I have a fever, and nothing is out of the ordinary. I get Hot if it's hot and I get cold if it's cold, weather I'm outside or inside, just like other people would that have normal body temps. I am always nervous before I go to a Doctor, could this be the reason? Also, my temp was taken at 8:30am by my doctor, so it's not like I have a lower body temp in the morning like I have read is supposed to be normal. Also, there has been a few times I checked my body temp at night and it says I'm 97.6. It isn't as good as the oral thermometer at my doctors office so it could be inaccurate. Anyway I got so scared I had my doctor give me a blood test and test me for anything and every thing because I am losing sleep over this and worry about it way too much.
There is a form of Tibetan meditation called "tummo". The monks in Tibet are able to lower or raise their core temperatures simply by thought. The researcher Dr. Herbert Benson conducted many studies on this form of meditation and found that the monks could lower their basal temperatures to extremely low degrees as well as raise them to very high numbers with only beneficial effects on the body.
So for those who are experiencing body temps that are too high, try meditation. Imagine your body cooling down in your core for about 10-20 minutes daily and you'll find that you can do this. Only in the West do we believe we are slaves to our physiology. For those with too low temps, (me), I use Tummo to keep myself at a comfortable warmth. My temps have dropped and I've noticed weight gain and that I'm cold all the time so I use Tummo meditation to raise my temps and it is working wonderfully. Feel free to google "tummo" or "g-tummo" to find out more.
