Hi, thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

You need not worry about heat disorders. Our body has very strong mechanism to control temperature. But exposure to extreme temperature is not good. Avoid unnecessary exposue to freezing temperature. Try to keep yourself warm. Adjust your air conditioner temperature properly to comfortable level. If your air conditioner is not able to maintain temperature better to get it corrected or replace with new one.
