What Is The Treatment For Low Body Temperature?
persistent low body temp (95.6 to 96.7), rarely in normal range accompanied by fatigue and profuse sweating; sweating while others are wearing sweaters and profuse when engaged in ANY physical activity. I am a 62 year-old woman. Otherwise in good health. I am currently taking 50mcg Levothyroxine and 25mg Atenolol daily. I have mentioned this to my MD and several nurse practitioners and they laugh it off. My tests blood tests for thyroid are all in normal range. My husband complains that I keep house like a refrigerator and the sweating affects my life, along with the fatigue. HELP!

hi there
the persistent low body temperature is one of the sign and symptom of Hypothyroidism. i think you need to increase the dose of Levothyroxine and this should be done on the basis of T3, T4 (both low) & TSH level (higher side). small increase in dose can be done according to these levels and then can be maintained as per report
