Guest guest Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Just bumping this message up again hoping someone has some ideas. My son has been complaining about feeling hot in his head & arms every day for almost two weeks (in the past, it was occasional, maybe three times/month). Any ideas? > > My neurotypical son complains regularly of feeling hot inside his body. He says that he feels heat in his head and arms but his skin is cool. > > Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this symptom? > > His thyroid seems fine based on the labwork, his cortisol seems to be OK in the a.m. but then falls and ends up at the low end by noon and end of day. > > Any leads would be really appreciated, I have no idea how to help alleviate this symptom. > > Thanks, > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Acupuncture might help. I get " heat " in my body at times and an acupuncture treatment will cool me down quickly. Several treatments might be needed to manage the problem long-term. An acupuncturist might offer dietary and/or exercise advice specific for your son and this can help too. -- > > > > My neurotypical son complains regularly of feeling hot inside his body.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Using a pediatric cuff, take his blood pressure on a daily basis and esp. when he complains of feeling hot inside. Sounds like a BP problem. > > > > My neurotypical son complains regularly of feeling hot inside his body.
