Suggest Treatment For Low Body Temperature After Alcohol Intake
Hello, two nights ago I went out with some friends...it was a hot, humid night and the club was hot as well and I was standing nearly the whole time. I only had two drinks during the night. When I was driving home I got a really bad headache behind my right eye. When I got home I laid down and within a half hour I felt freezing, so I took my temp which was 96.5, took it again 96, never went below 96. I was nautious and threw up the water I was sipping (water was room temp). When I was in the bathroom I noticed that my face chest and back was splotched with redness. I laid down again and just felt like my body was trying to make me pass out, really uncomfortable, and my breathing was slow. I eventually fell asleep and still felt bad the next morning, just without the chills or low temp. Should I contact my doc about this or can migraines cause a low body temp?

Ok... 96.5 isn't a low body temp.
Alcohol and sweating or air conditioning will cause some loss of body heat. Not very severe and enough to change body temp slightly. It does this by causing blood vessels to dilate. These lose heat (splotching).
