Subnormal temperature?

Question

Hi, I haven't been sleeping very well lately, and when I wake up I feel absolutely horrible, so I've been taking my temperature. When I feel like this, its always a few degrees below normal. What could be causing this? Is this why I'm feeling so bad?

Answer 1

It could be but not very likely. One, if your a woman then your temp usually is lower than a males. Two, your temperature is usually at its lowest in the morning, or when youre asleep and shortly wake up. Three, you may just be a person with a lower temp than the average 98.6. That 98.6 is just an average, but any temp within a few degrees high or low, is not usually something to worry about. I run about a 96.9-97.5 on most days. If my temp gets to 98.6 or higher, I usually hae a fever. If you continue to feel horrible go see your Dr. just to get a physical done and to make sure there isnt any thing seriously wrong with you. Good Luck...
