What Causes High Body Temperature When I Sleep?

I have been told, when I sleep my body temperature goes up and my body becomes so hot you can not even sleep beside me...I been told I feel like a furnace and although my body is extremely hot, I am not sweating. This has been my experience since childhood. I am a very healthy 48 year old woman that does not have to take any medications. In fact I have not even begun perimenopause. Please tell me all you can about this. Is it common? Is it something to be concerned about? etc,...

Hi thanks for asking question.
you have mentioned of feeling high temperature at night while sleep since childhood.So here less chance of acute illness.
I think you just do your thyroid profile as in hyperthyroidism excessive heat intolerance along with increase basal metabolic rate.In hyperthyroid also diarrhea and other symptoms present.
If you have hypertension and taking anti hypertensive medication then also similar symptoms can be felt.
CRP is also done.
Overexertion or excessive exercise can lead to such symptom.
Also dehydration can lead to such symptoms.
If sleep is inadequate then temprature can get rised.
If hypoglycemia due to any cause can lead to such symptoms.
Here no extraprecaution require.
Apply cold sponging if more fever.
thanks.
