Suggest Treatment For Body Overheating During Pregnancy

My head is always overheating. I sweat fast and have a high metabolism but im not active in any type of sports. I get headaches when i get too hot. Usually i put cold things like frozen peas on my head or sit infront of the Air Conditioner/Fan. It always calms me down. Is there anyway i can fix this? Im now pregnant and i tend to overheat faster now.

Hello,
I have gone through the query and understood your concern. Your symptoms are suggestive of excess function of certain body hormones that lead to excess sweating and this sort of presentation needs further evaluation to manage properly. This can also be hereditary. Now that you are pregnant, evaluation should wait ideally until you deliver as biological changes inherent to pregnancy can cause confusion in the diagnosis. Moreover, several investigations should be avoided in pregnancy and so are treatments. So, please try to take a healthy diet. Avoid fried food, fast foods, oily food and take plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables along with adequate water. This should help tide over the situation. Wish you safe motherhood.
