i have a temperature of 34.9, but dont feel poorly, other than tiredness, backaches and a constant groggy type headache and feeling the cold in my hands and feet, where i usually am very hot. i have had a thyroid test, and it is low, but only just so i am not on any treatment for it, (i have started taking sea kelp after reading it can help stabalise the thyroid) should i be worried that my temp is so low, with no fever?
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor. Absolutely your symptoms can be attributed to under functioning of thyroid. Hypothyroidism is known to cause low body/extremity temperature which can result in sensation of tiredness and fatigue. I strongly recommend you to get a complete full picture of your thyroid gland by blood tests like T3,T4,TSH plus an ultrasound thyroid. This can help to evaluate any nodules in the thyroid which can cause such symptoms. Eating sea kelp will not offer you much advantage. Its strongly recommended that you take external thyroxine supplementation in the form of tab thermoform daily for six months. This can offer you permanent cure in most cases. Consult an endocrinologist in regard to above. Post your further queries, if any. Thank you.
