HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
An ejection fraction (EF) of 10 % is low.
Ejection fraction refers to the amount of blood that is ejected or pumped out with each heart beat.
The temperature is ok and would not be the cause of the heated sensation but it can be monitored to see if it changes.
It is possible that an infection is brewing.
Thyroid disease is also another cause for heat intolerance, so if it continues with no obvious infection then this would need to be ruled out.
I hope this helps
