What Causes High Body Temperature?
Hello Dr,
I have been suffering from high body temprature for past 4 months. This comes and goes during the day. I have visited the local GP few times and have had few tests done but we are not sure of the problem. This started with dizziness, unusual headaches and fever. The dizzines and headaches have improved but the body temprature still comes and goes? We did 1 testostrome test and that was low. As per my GP I have been asked to get a second reading to ensure it is a testostrome problem. Please advise if you think this can be something else? Thanks

Hello and welcome to HCM,
High body temperature occurs due to many reasons like infections, connective tissue disorders, neoplastic conditions.
Infection is the most common cause of high body temperature.
If no focus of infection can be identified, you need to get blood culture to find out the cause of pyrexia of unknown origin.
You need to consult your doctor for clinical assessment and for blood investigations to find out the cause.
Thanks and take care
