Question: I recently moved from a single-family home to an independent living apartment in a continuing care retirement community. I have had a problem adjusting to the temperature-controlled environment here. I have two thermostats in my apartment, which I have to keep in the mid-60's in order for my body to not overheat. My body temperature stays right around 97.6, but at the slightest body exertion, I feel tremendously warm, even hot, all over. On occasion, I'll even perspire profusely. Even though the temperature may be in the very cold ranges outside, I find I have to wear a thin jacket instead of a heavy jacket or coat. While I am dressing in short-sleeved tops, other residents are wearing swatshirts, sweaters, and other winter-type warm clothing. I can't even sit close to someone without overheating. This affects my sleep at night, also - my pillow gets too hot, and I keep waking up to adjust the covers - either throwing them off, or putting them back over me again. This "condition" actually started before I moved, but I thought it might be a temporary thing. Could it possibly be associated with certain medications, or going "cold turkey" from a medication? I just discovered this evening that, for some unknown reason, I have not had a new or refilled Rx for Sertraline for some time. I intend to rectify that situation first thing tomorrow morning by informing my PCP's office. In the meantime, could you shed any light on my body's overheating anomaly? Thank you.
