Can we measure body temperature by knowing pulse rate, without using any instrument?

Question

Can we measure body temperature by knowing pulse rate, without using any instrument?

Answer 1

Nope but you could take a wild guess at it.  By touch you can feel when lets say someone felt hot, that's when normally people would take a reading with a thermometer.

Answer 2

no because you cant measure body temperature by the beating of your heart.

Answer 3

Instruments can get more accurate results than unaided senses, and when measuring temperature, the simplest way is still with a thermometer.

Answer 4

No. There is a positive correlation when you plot temperature vs pulse on a scatter graph, BUT the variability is too great to infer any one on one relationship.

Modern medines like beta blockers that slow heart rate and drugs like cocaine and methamphetamine, which raise heart rate,compound the problem by altering heart rate and not temperature. And one old disease Rheumatic fever has a fever and a SLOW heat rate.

Answer 5

No, you can measure by Signs/Symptoms AND  touch. Pulse rate is more to detect a myocardial infarction.

Answer 6

No, there's no way to validly correlate one with the other.
