Hipotermia



Question:

Está ligada a síntomas generales del vih? - en ocasiones me entran espasmos de frío. Cuando me pongo el termómetro a veces tengo entre 35,5 y 36, pero a veces no tengo fiebre. Es normal esto? seropositiva


Respuesta:

No es muy corriente. Lo más probable es que no tenga más trascendencia, pero comenteselo a su médico, quiza convendría hacerle unas pruebas de función tiroidea, a veces el hipotiroidismo se presenta con temperatura corporal baja. Otras causas posibles son la exposición al frío (sencilla de diagnosticar, y que no parece ser su caso), algunas enfermedades del sistema nervioso central y algunos fármacos. Quizá su termometro no funcione bien. Comenteselo a su médico.
