Excessive body heat
I am constantly overheated. My body temperature is always normal but I seem to "throw off" my body heat all day long. Even at night with the air conditioning on I am constantly throwing the covers off, my husband uses me to warm the bed up in the cold months, it only takes me about 10 minutes to totally warm up a king size bed. I am sitting here at work doing nothing but typing on the computer and I am overheated. Is this possibly a medical condition of some kind. It is driving me nuts!
I know your post was in 2008, but I have exactly, to a T, what you have posted. I have been tested for thyroid, the test come back normal. I was wondering if you were able to find anything out about this problem?
I know you posted this a while back but I too have the same symptoms and deal with an internal heat issue. It started in 3/2013 and no one has been able to diagnose. My doctor is now very concerned bc I have dropped 30 pounds because I am always hot and I can't eat due to the heat making me nauseous. I don't have any weight left to loose. Have you found a cure? My life has definitely put on hold and I am so weak physically that I can't do much and if I do things around the house I heat up more than I already am. In addition, when I can get myself to eat, hot foods creates a more intense heat and I cant finish.
Hi..same here..When someone will sleep or sit beside me (relatives,friend or boyfriend) they often say that I am hot and will ask me if I am sick. I am only taking med for my allergy, was this the reason because of my allergy or eosinophil level is elevated? We have a family history of goiter.
i have the same probelm, it *****. My bf wont cuddle me because I am always so hot. I don't have any health problems that i know of either.
You said that it was weird that you became hot and didn't sweat, might want to see my post above this one on hypohidrosis/anhidrosis.
First... like wow. I haven't been using medhelp for that long, but this is a really long thread. By the way, I'm a guy here. I haven't read all of the posts yet (uhh.. so many), but I saw that symptoms such as flushing and becoming overheated were common.
From what I read from medhelp, other places, and the fact that I currently have hypohidrosis(lack of sweating), it's very close to complete anhidrosis(completely no sweating) at the moment.... these symptoms are also mentioned with these two heat illnesses.
So what I'm wondering, and I'm sure there's different situations for all the people who have posted here so far, is do you suffer from hyperhidrosis (too much sweating) or is it actually hypohidrosis? When I used to sweat I would notice that parts of my body would be drenched in sweat, while others would be completely dry. Apparently, if someone has hypohidrosis or for whatever reason(peripheral neuropathy, etc.) doesn't sweat in certain areas... other parts of your body sweat excessively to try and compensate for this. Your body still tries to cool itself down... of course this doesn't mean it will.
This is kind of my own theory, but it seems to make sense. Perhaps it may fit into someone's situation here.
Oh and I don't know if this will help as much for those of you claiming to have hyperhidrosis, as I said before I have anhidrosis.... but maybe...

This has a lot of information about mostly anhidrosis, but also hypohidrosis. Near the bottom of the page you will find tests and procedures for sweating.
I hope this helps everyone. If anyone wants more details on my internet research or about what's in the link, post or message me.
