Rise in the body temperature or internal body heat symptoms are caused by various numbers of factors that includes a person’s environmental conditions, dehydration, physical activity, and underlying conditions. Metabolic processes such as muscle activity and basal metabolism are also responsible for causing heat in the body.
The heat levels in a person’s body also depend on the medications or treatment. Some medicines and certain anti-depressants result in affecting the body thermoregulation which potentially increases body heat. Below listed are the top 5 signs to confirm internal body heat issues in a person.
Top 5 signs to rule out internal body heat issues:
- Rising body temperature:
The body temperature rises during any heat illness faced by a person since the ability of the body to keep the internal temperature balanced is overloaded; it further results in heat loss and unbalanced heat temperature. This is mostly witnessed when a person is exposed to heat externally, internally, or both at the same time.
- Heavy sweating:
Sweating is the primary mechanism of our body to regulate internal temperature with the outside temperature. This is one of the reasons why people tend to sweat while facing heat issues. When body is exposed to heat, our sweat glands become stimulated involuntarily to release sweat, after pulling the heat away it helps cool the body down and then eventually evaporates.
- Lethargy:
The body struggles to regulate temperature that needs energy in the formation of sweat and dilation of blood vessels. Thus, people feel lethargic and lazy when exposed to extreme weather. People during hot weather also fell tired and de-motivated due to the body’s need to conserve its energy that is observed with potential dehydration.
- Fainting and dizziness:
People in hot weather often feel dizzy and faint due to several factors. It affects the body’s strength to maintain the blood flow and to regulate the body temperature. Intense heat exposure results in the body to sweat heavily, leading to reduced blood volumes and often dehydration.
- Appetite:
People tend to experience decreased appetite while facing hot weather. This is because the body is busy in maintaining and balancing a normal temperature and neglecting the digestion process due to extreme heat. This process is also medically termed as “thermic effect of food”. During this process, the heat within the body is generated that further makes it harder to regulate the body temperature in harsh weather conditions.
Conclusion:
It is normal for humans to feel hot in certain conditions. To conclude, internal body heat symptoms are caused by a combination of factors such as physical activity, underlying medical conditions, metabolic processes, etc… These need to be analyzed by investing all of these factors together.
Certain reasons for feeling hot and sweaty all the time may also be due to severe health conditions such as diabetes, menopause, fever, etc… These can be treated with consultation of good medical professionals or health experts. Get in touch with your health expert to discuss these symptoms further with them.
