I would like to welcome you to the EmpowHER community and thank you for submitting such an interesting question.
I have a few questions for you. Is this problem new? When did you first start experiencing the inability to regulate your body temperature? When you exercise, do you perspire?
Anonymous, I wonder if a thyroid problem may be the cause. A classic symptom of hyperthyroidism or an overactive thyroid gland is feeling too hot. But, paradoxically, individuals with hypothyroidism or an underactive thyroid gland, can feel too hot as well as too cold.
Another possible cause may be a hypothalamic dysfunction. This condition is a problem with an area of the brain called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus has many functions, one of which is regulating body temperature.
I think an consultation with an endocrinologist is a very good idea and a good place to start.
Please keep in touch and tell us what you find out.
