Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Why Is The Temperature Of The Body Higher Than Normal?
I've been charting bbt and I'm a little on the low side - around 96.5 in the follicular phase and 97-97.5 in the luteal phase. Just on whim I took a temperature reading several hours after running a half-marathon assuming my temp would be higher than normal, but it was 94.0. I took it twice to be sure. I didn't feel uncomfortably cold or warm, after getting in a hot bath (for my sore muscles) it went up to 98.3. What should I make, if anything, of that low temperature?

Thanks for history. But would like to know more about your duration of these complains and any other complains that you are having like (i.e feeling light headedness). If not no need to worry for these body temperature fluctuation if having no there symptoms.

If not no need to worry for these body temperature fluctuation if having no there symptoms. Hormonal changes do affect the basal body temperature but if no complains then should not worry too much. Thanks and regards
