many people have lower/normal body temperatures. you do not have to calculate a higher temperature concern based on this lower temperature. extremely high temperatures capable of causing problems will usually have a discoverable cause most likely a biological event. seasoned medical providers only use body temperature as just one of the evaluative guidelines but do not put a lot of emphasis on the measurement. people tend to fear fevers but fever is the body's normal response to fighting infection so in most cases it should not even be pharmacologically-lowered using drugs. it should be welcomed not feared.
lower normal body temperature = lower "dangerous" high fever temperature? . despite no hypothyroidism diagnosis from blood test & family history my normal temp is always a little low. i've been tracking my bbt for several months now and during follicular phase it's rarely above 36. 1 c. if "average" is 37 c and based on that average "dangerously high" is 39. 4 c should i be concerned at 39. 4 or something lower? last night i hit 38. 8 and it turns out i have strep throat. the dr. i saw today took note of my temps but said nothing.
