Normal body temperature in Fahrenheit - #16955
For the past few months, I’ve been feeling colder than usual, even when everyone around me is fine. My hands and feet are always freezing, and sometimes I even shiver indoors when the temperature isn’t that low. I thought maybe I was just being sensitive to the weather, but then I started checking my temperature regularly, and it’s almost always around 96.8°F or sometimes even 96.5°F. I looked online, and most places say that the normal body temperature in Fahrenheit is 98.6°F, but then I read that it can vary. Now I’m really confused if my temperature is actually low or if I’m just overthinking. I did some blood tests to check for thyroid issues, but my TSH levels were in the normal range. My doctor didn’t seem too concerned and just said some people naturally have lower temperatures. But if that’s true, why do I also feel tired all the time? I’ve been waking up sluggish, my digestion feels slower, and sometimes I feel like my brain is foggy, like I can’t concentrate properly. Could all this be connected to my body temperature? Does Ayurveda look at body temperature differently? What does Ayurveda consider as the normal body temperature in Fahrenheit, and is having a lower temperature a sign of imbalance? Are there any herbal remedies or diet changes that can help regulate my body temperature and energy levels? Should I be worried about this, or is it okay to just leave it as it is?
