Body Has Low Body Temperature. Did Tests, ECG, Normal. Blood Tests Show WBC High. Cure For Treatment?

Hello I would like comment of a Doctor of Medicine Specialist.
My problem is Low body temperature. It has been few weeks now. sometimes it goes down 95 ...sometimes up around 98... at the beginning low temp was associated with low pulse bit however that is okay now. The day i experienced it first I took Salaine (sugar & Salt drink) & also Honey. After that i went to hospital but once there they found it normal. THey also did ECG which was normal. So they asked me to go to General doctor that i went next day. But that doctor also things its fine. but gave some tests as I asked. In test, Kidney, Liver, Prostate seems fine. Blood sugar level was little high but doctor said its not Diabetes level.. just little high can happen for any reason. The ESR was high also WBC count. That means there might be some kind of infection. But doc did not gave any medicine or further test. Doc said its not anything serious.. I should just eat healthy etc. I always eat healthy by the way... my routine was breakfast Milk & Corn Flakes, Lunch only Fruits, Dinner vegetable, Fish/Meat.. almost 2months i rarerly took any bread or Rice. I was doing exercise/GYm 4 days in a week for 1hr or 1.5hr. Before this sickness i did not do for 2 wks as i was feeling no strength. Now i have added bread in my lunch and dinner as I read in internet, low temp might be due to dieting. I have another feeling that i might have Sodium deficiency!! but doc did not give Electrolytes test. So at this moment I do not know what to do. I have started little walking or jogging again. I feel good when i do some physical activity.

Hi there ~

I understand your concerns and you are right about having been on a diet being the cause of your low temperatures. I also think that you are having a problem with being anxious about health issues, no wonder since you have been having a lot of health problems lately. It is not unusual to have a good feeling when you walk or jog because your BMI increases and your temperature does too. I believe that you might need to reassure yourself by getting an electrolyte panel as well as a Thyroid panel if you have not done so already.

I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
