Hypothalamus and Overheating. Do You?
« on: Sep 12th, 2006, 10:03pm » |

Last week on House, there was mention of the hypothalamus and lack of temperature control in the patients body, so it made me think....
I overheat terribly. Once I get hot I sweat like there's a thunderstorm on my head! And I can't stop till I can relax in a cool palce for at least 10 min's. It seems I do have a problem with controlling body heat. And since we evidently all have messed up hypothalamus', does anyone else experience this?

I sweat excessively. Sometimes I'll wake up at night and be drenched. When I play with my band, I'll go through 2-3 towels in a night (being under hot lights doesn't help). I have been like this since adolescence.
Edited to add: My normal body temp is around 97.6.

I searched and found this
Quote:The body keeps its core temperature constant at about 37 C by physiological adjustments controlled by the hypothalamus (Thermostat Center) where there are neurons sensitive to changes in skin and blood temperatures. The temperature-regulating centers are found in the Preoptic Area (the anterior portion of the hypothalamus). This area receives input from temperature receptors in the skin and mucous membranes (Peripheral Thermoreceptors) and from internal structures (Central Thermoreceptors), which include the hypothalamus itself. The temperature sensory signals from the from the preoptic area and those form the periphery are combined in the posterior hypothalamus to control the heat producing and conserving reactions of the body. The hypothalamic thermostat works in conjunction with other hypothalamic, autonomic and higher nervous thermoregulatory centers to keep the core temperature constant. Some of these thermoregulatory responses are involuntary, mediated by the autonomic nervous system, some are neurohormonal and others are semi-voluntary or voluntary behavioral responses.

So does anyone else have any temperature problems?

I have temperature problems, but they are mostly due to menopause.  I'm on fire when I get hit, though. Everytime.

I've been through the hot-flash period of my life due to menopause, but now I still will experience random periods of flushing which I can only attribute to CH syndrome--what might be part of the "silent" hits with no pain. This heating up is also accompanied by other symptoms, like one-sided tearing and stuffy nose which never happened with my hormonal flashes. I'm not complaining though--it still beats having the beast in my head.

Yep-fevers and bizarro sweating-right side of face. Its all part of what the hypothalumus does-control temp, ect....As soon as I sit and relax, the waterworks start-quite entertaining to those around me-husband actually got out the stopwatch one night to see how long before the show began (what a dork )
He has actually commented while giving me a neck rub"there's the lump" and, "now, you are clammy". How romantic.

Getting terribly hot while getting hit is par for the course for all of us I would think.
But for me it's all the time. Kinda like if your thermostat in your car sticks, it overheats immediately and won't cool down till it comes loose. That's about how I feel. My temp spikes and doesn't come back down easily.
And what's maybe even more weird is when taking my temp with a thermometer while not hot, unless I have a fever I usually register around 97.8...
Has anyone heard of a treatment for this? It's terribly bothersome!

There is also a CGRP connection--
"The Japanese herbal formula Keishi-bukuryo-gan (KBG) has been shown to reduce levels of CGRP in lab animals and humans. Cluster headaches and hot flashes have both been linked to surges of CGRP. Regular consumption of KBG reduces CGRP levels in the blood and symptoms of hot flashes; it has not been tested on cluster headaches, but may be useful. Migraine and cluster headache researchers (including Dr. Goadsby) have talked very optomistically of intial studies with other CGRP inhibitors. "

yup. when i exercise I sweat like a man in a steam room. when I'm in cycle, or as I approach a cycle, the thermo-regulatory system seems noticeably out of whack. I get flushed with heat and feel hot "all the way through", kind of like when you feel "cold all the way through" on a cold winter day. I know my cycles are coming to a close when the system is working right again. If it wasn't for my hypothalamus I could'a been a contender......

I can easily sweat through a tee shirt, or sweat shirt in the middle of winter. The funny thing is that my normal body temp is lower than 98.6*, by a lot...or what I think is a lot, my normal temp is around 97.4*'ish...Who knew???

The past few dr visits, my temp has been 97. 8 or so.
I've always had sweating & heat sensations, especially at the begining & end of each headache. It was worse during perimenopause, awful during menopause, and bearable now in post menopause. Definitely related to headache. The past year has been the wierdest (ha wise) for me and I no longer know what to expect.

You mean like wearing a coat all throught the summmer months no matter how hot it is yet when it comes to winter finding that you are sweating like a pig.
If so that is me, i like to go beach fishing and can very often be found sat on a beach in the middle of winter wearing a pair of shorts and a t shirt yet even though we had quite a few weeks of heat on this side of the pond a while back i was always wearing my ski-ing jacket even while at work humping furniture and kitchen units.

I have terrible problems with temperture problems, during a hit its as if I am on fire and I sweat buckets from the upper body. I can't bear hot weather, its a real killer for me. However some times after a hit I will feel cold and I mean really cold and not be able to get warm---------just like the the whole beast it a puzzle ain't it -----------------------------------------Cheers Roy

I am either Very Very Hot or Very Very cold, never seem to have a happy medium. Lately it's been night sweats though and I must admit I think those are hormone related

Strange that this is brought up, because my body temp usually runs in the 97 range, but it doesn't take much for me to sweat. I used to think I was just out of shape and sweat alot until I made the connection between the hypothalmus regulating temperature and it's correlation to CH. This is the first time I've seen other CH sufferers discuss the subject, and the experiences that match mine are amazing. BTW, I've been pretty intolerant of the heat all my life, and used to get wicked migraines from the heat, a possible connection also?

No problem here. Except when I'm bumping uglies with the little woman I do tend to work up a sweat.

When I first started getting CH I was a saw hand for a logging outfit, in the summer time I would still wear my chaps and hardhat with earmuffs. I would work untill I stopped sweating, sit down and file my saw and take a few drinks of water. I worked like that for several years, after coming that close to stroking out so many times I have often wondered if it was the cause or contributed to CH?
