heat intolerance

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know how long it takes for a hyperthyroid person to be

able to tolerate the heat? My labs have been in the normal range for

three months now. The weather is heating up again and I still have

trouble being outdoors even for short periods. Got back indoors after

watering my plants and I still can't cool off. My face felt so hot I

thought it would explode! My hands continue to be warm all the time

and they sweat even when indoors with air conditioning. Also my heart

continues to " thump " once in a while and continues to skip beats

almost once a day. Will these symptoms resolve over time?

Thanks,

Sandy

Hi Sandy,

Your symptoms should resolve, but heat intolerance can be related to other causes including genetic tendencies. I had the worst problems with heat intolerance when I was on diuretics (for puffy eyes), and my potassium got too low. Nutrient deficiencies will make heat intolerance worse and so will anything that contributes to dehydration. Estrogen/progesterone imbalances can also cause these problems. Take care, Elaine

Hi, It's not just intolerance to cold- it's a thermal chamaelon- can cope with high or low. Typical hypo symptom. Get a free e-mail account with Hotmail. Sign-up now.

I can't cope with either - but this weather is intolerably hot, most people I

know are hiding indoors today so I don't think it's good for anyone, hypo or

not.

It's days like this when I miss the air conditioning at work.

Roll on the inevitable thunder storm that always happens when it gets this

hot..... ; )
