Brief Answer:
Hypothermia

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms,

your body temperature is lower than normal. This means that you are having hypothermia. This can be due to exposure to cold or due to uncontrolled diabetes or thyroid conditions. You need to move to a warm place and keep yourself warm with extra clothes and warm fluids . If your body temperature did not get elevated after these measures then you need to go to the hospital.

I hope I answered your question. if you don't have any other clarifications then please close the discussion.
