Always feeling hot or overheated
Overview
Always feeling hot or overheated is a persistent sensation of excessive warmth or heat intolerance that occurs regardless of environmental temperature. This symptom involves the body's inability to regulate temperature properly, leading to constant feelings of being too warm even in normal or cool conditions.
Common Causes
This feeling often occurs due to hormonal changes like menopause or thyroid disorders that affect your body's temperature regulation. Lifestyle factors such as consuming spicy foods, caffeine, or alcohol can also trigger heat sensations. Stress, anxiety, and certain medications may cause your body to feel warmer than usual. Being overweight, wearing heavy clothing, or staying in warm environments can contribute to persistent feelings of overheating.
Severity Levels
Mild: You occasionally feel warmer than others in the same environment or have slight difficulty tolerating warm weather. The sensation is noticeable but doesn't significantly impact your daily routine.
Moderate: You consistently feel overheated in normal temperature settings and actively seek cooler environments. This affects your comfort level and may influence your clothing choices and activity planning.
Severe: You experience intense, persistent overheating that severely limits your activities and comfort. You may avoid certain environments entirely and require constant cooling measures to feel tolerable.
Medical Attention
Seek medical attention if this feeling persists for more than a few days without an obvious cause like fever or hot weather. Contact your doctor promptly if you experience additional symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, excessive sweating, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, or difficulty sleeping. Get immediate medical care if you develop severe symptoms like chest pain, difficulty breathing, confusion, or signs of heat exhaustion.
