Brief Answer:
It might be a symptom of mild viral infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hi...
Welcome to "Ask a Doctor"service.
I am Dr Ajeet XXXXXXX

I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.

Kindly share your age,status of your body weight and co morbidity (if any)specially diabetes mellitus.
Has your thyroid levels been checked in the recent past?

Many people describe these symptoms as an "internal fever where you feel feverish and have malaise and lassitude but thermometer records no fever.
This may be due to an emotional cause, such as severe stress or anxiety,after strenuous exercise or during an ovulation period of a fertile female (14 days prior to the next menstrual cycle).
In such cases, the feeling of raised temperature weans off after some time.

At times,this feeling is there just before the onset of a viral flu.

Keep yourself well hydrated,take nourishing diet including plentiful of vegetables and fruits and take rest.Avoid sleep deprivation and de stress yourself.
If the symptoms do not improve,please visit your clinician for complete evaluation and clinical examination.

Hope that I have answered your query.

Stay healthy and stay blessed.
Regards.

So the most likely cause is viral infection? I don't have any other symptoms yet or is fever usually the first symptom?
