What Causes Constant High Core Body Temperature?
My son is hot all the time. I mean HOT. He runs the ac constantly. He is 25,slightly overweight, has normally low bp. Sometimes it s low enough to make him slightly dizzy. Refuses any blood work. This is since he had the flu about 2 years ago. Prior to that, he was more sensitive to cold. His diet is good...he likes to cook so he makes good meals. Any ideas? Jackie

Hello,
He should get further evaluated doing a total blood count with formula and biochemical blood balance. I can think about possible conditions without a single examination. Arthritis or hyperthyroidism may be causes also despite any infection.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
