Low Body Temperature. Have Hypothyroidism. How To Get The Temperature Back To Normal?

Thank you for the query.
I would like to know few more things which would help me in suggesting you better:
1.) Do you get shivering?
2.) Do you have slow or shallow breathing?
3.) Do you get fatigued easily?
Your history suggests you are suffering from lowered body temperature as is commonly seen in hypothyroidism. An average Hypothermia.
Not to worry, your condition seems to be fine and get yourself examined by a Endocrinologist so that he/she may evaluate you further and also check you rectal temperature.
Follow these lifestyle modifications:
1.) Drink plenty of water.
2.) Wear a hat or other protective covering to prevent the body heat from escaping from your head, face, neck. Cover your hands with mittens instead of gloves. They are more effective than gloves because they keep your fingers in closer contact with one another.
3.) Avoid overexertion.
4.) Wear loosefitting, layered, lightweight wollen or silk clothing.
5.) Keep yourself dry always.
6.) Take your thyroid medications regularly as directed by your Doctor, and go for regular follow up.
7.) Whenever you travel by car alone, let other people know where you are headed and always keep blankets, Good Health.
Take Care.

Dr. Mohammed Tauseef.
