Runny nose, chills, fever, cough - this condition is familiar to many! It is difficult to find a person who has not had an acute respiratory infection at least once in his life. Symptoms are well understood, medications are prescribed - sick leave, mustard, warm socks, a scarf and raspberry juice.
However, it happens that a temperature of 37 appears without the symptoms of a cold. What is the reason for this phenomenon? Let's figure it out!
The temperature of the human body is in the range from 36 to 41 ° C, while the temperature from 36.5 to 36.9 ° C ensures the functioning of the body in the best way.
Heat transfer and heat production are those processes that maintain a normal temperature with a close relationship. It turns out that a constant temperature of a person is possible only when the amount of heat given off by the body to the environment is equal to the amount of heat that appears. That is, in order to ensure a constant temperature, heat transfer (heat consumption) must be equal to its heat production (arrival). The body temperature becomes higher, if the heat production is greater than the heat transfer, if the opposite happens, then the temperature decreases.
Thermoregulatory disorder is called a violation in the temperature environment associated with organic or functional disorders in the hypothalamus. Thermoregulation disorder is recognized as one of the signs of vegetative-vascular dystonia.
With such a disorder, a temperature of 37 often appears without symptoms
colds. A person feels heaviness in the head, weakness, pain in the head. Body temperature rises spontaneously, while palms and feet may remain cold, which indicates the local nature of thermoregulation failures. The feeling of heat can be suddenly replaced by chills.
In most people who suffer from dystonia, fever can persist for up to several months. In the morning, its normalization can be observed, however, throughout the day the temperature can repeatedly increase to 37 ° C. A strong emotional load (shock, stress) and vigorous physical activity may well contribute to this increase. In this case, rapid breathing and increased heart rate may be observed.
If you have a long-term temperature of 37 without symptoms, you should not take anti-inflammatory or antiviral medications. To identify the causes of this body temperature, blood tests are required. Do not postpone the matter for a long time, be sure to go to the doctor!
The center of thermoregulation is located in one of the areas of the brain, in the hypotolamus. If its function is impaired (chronic stress, nervous exhaustion, sleep disturbance), it is possible that you will have a temperature of 37 without symptoms for a sufficiently long time.
Chronic infection, usually against a background of reduced immunity. In the event that the immune system is weakened, then the elevated temperature can be maintained by ordinary microbes, which normally do not pose a danger.
Autoimmune processes may be the cause of the temperature increase, while the immune system can mistakenly attack some healthy tissue of its body.
If you have a temperature of 37.2 without symptoms, then this may be a sign of an allergy to a latent or explicit course.
Most often, the examination indicates that prolonged exposure of the nervous system to severe stress leads the entire human body to exhaustion. An infection or an autoimmune disease that has joined this cause a fever.
If your temperature 38 without symptoms lasts for a long time, then this can serve as a sign of many serious diseases, such as tuberculosis, kidney disease. Of course, it can also be the flu, which at the initial stages is manifested only by a high temperature, but you should not risk it, it is best to consult a doctor, only he will make an accurate diagnosis based on the analyzes.
