Brief Answer:
Check Thyroid and Complete blood count.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your health query.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.
It may be something to not worry about but it can also be something that needs diagnoses.
The 2 most important labs that will rule out several problems are: a complete blood count and a TSH.
Several woman after giving birth may be anemic and also may have a hypothyroidism and not know about it until they have done these tests. If you have done them and they are normal, then great. But if not, then I would recommend checking them out.
Sometimes the body temperature changes because of the changes or the environment, sweating, clothes we wear, or activity. It may be something happening in this season as well. We never can say for sure how a persons body reacts.
Follow-up with me if you want after you get the blood tests results, and I can explain them to you and suggest further steps.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please close and rate the answer.
