What Causes Excessive Sweating With A Low Grade Fever And Numbness In Right Thigh?
Question: I have been experiencing excessive sweating (odor) with a low grade fever and numbness in my right thigh. What could it possibly be.
Brief Answer:
Has your thyroid been checked?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms of excessive sweating and low grade fevers that you have reported. What have been your average body temperature during such feverish episodes? Also, what is your heart rate and do you have any constipation or diarrhea?
This is because your symptoms could be suggestive of an over active thyroid. A baseline TSH levels would tell whether the thyroid is functioning okay or not. I will suggest that you get evaluated and tested by your primary care doctor and further explorations guided by examination findings and the preliminary results.
will recommend that you increase your daily fluids consumption and keep a reading of your daily temperatures for analysis. I will like to have a copy of this over 3days.
I hope this helps. I wish you well and thank you so much for using our services. Please, feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
