Does anyone experience feeling hot without a temperature or fever?

My dad is on permanent oxygen and constantly feels hot but does not have a temperature. Nothing seems to help and doctors don’t know what it is. Can anyone help? 🙏

  1. Hi hannah, and thanks for your post. While we cannot provide medical advice or diagnostics over the internet (for your own safety), I am hopeful others in the community with similar circumstances may respond.

    I will say that body temperature (in general), is regulated in the hypothalamus part of the brain. If your Dad is uncomfortable and this issue is persistent, you may want to speak with a specialist. If you're interested in reading further, I thought this article might provide you with some additional insight: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK279457/. I do hope you find it to be helpful.

    Please do check back and let us know how this all turns out for you.

    Wishing you (and your Dad!), well.
    All the best, Leon (site moderator COPD.net)

    1. I do COPD and at times feel like I have fever. But it always shows around 97.5. I went to the hospital and they took my temp before I went any further and I felt fine but showed 100.4 temperature. So they tell me to home and quarantine for two weeks because of Covid 19, then they called and I had to contact health Dept and they sent me to me tested for the coronavirus. It was negative. This is a long answer, but yes I do feel like I have fever at night and don’t. And sometimes don’t feel like I do and I do have a temperature. I don’t have an answer I just know how I feel. Hope your dad is doing okay.

      1. Hi again, cdandy, and thanks for lending your own support and encouragement here. We value your feedback, as well as your candor with the community.

        All the best,

    2. Thank you for your reply, it’s driving him mad to the point he can’t sleep. He now sleeps with the air conditioner on but he says he still feels hot all the time, I’m glad you are ok and I will tell dad he’s not alone in the hot symptom thing.

      1. Hi again, hannah, and thanks for your reply (above), and explanation. I'm sure cdandy will be please with the conversation.
        Warmly,

    3. First of all thank you so much for helping your father with his medical condition and supporting him in his journey. My though, being a COPDer, things I have ran into that causes myself grieve at times. Is your dad hydrating (drinking) enough? Could this "heating" be from a reaction / side effect of one of his medications? What about the enviroment, yes as mentioned before allergies (they can change over time, yeah!). Is his home maybe over humid (to high of humidity)? These are some factors besides as already suggested from others that could be checked in to while waiting on the doctors appointments, just to try in help rule things out or finding the cause of his uneasiness of feeling heated. Sending hugs to you both, please keep us informed. Thank you
