I really apologise in advance I’m new here and unsure which group to post in so bear with me. I have been suffering for 10 years now and unsure where or who I can go to for help. I severely overheat on a daily basis whether it be 20 degrees or -5 degrees. I overheat when I’m at rest and no physical exertion. It’s really making me depressed. I do not sweat and just get a clammy feeling and almost like my body is tingling and I feel I want to pass out and have done on 2 occasions. I wasn’t like this before and was always a cold person. And yes when my hotness isn’t playing up or I have 1 good day I’m absolutely freezing as I used to always be that way. It really frustrates me as if I’m having a good day I can go out and sit in the sun it just depends on the day which shows it’s not a heat intolerance. I wondered if maybe I have sweat gland issues or damage or maybe something else stopping me able to cool down. Surely I don’t have to cope with this the rest of my life. I can’t go out I cannot exercise I can’t laugh like I used to I’m miserable all the time due to not coping and all I get off docs is I’m not in the change so they are unsure. I really can’t do this anymore and this is my last hope. Sorry for the long post. I was wondering if maybe my body is lacking in something. Nothing I do cools me down and it’s my internal body heat as opposed to my body temp as I’ve never no fever. I rally don’t understand it’s affecting my life and also my life with my kids I don’t want to do anything and have severe anxiety when I know summer is coming as all I want to do is go out and enjoy it and I can’t I sit inside crying into my pillow.
