Introduction
In general, dizziness and generalized weakness with a body temperature of 35.5°C may be caused by low environmental temperature, malnutrition, hypoglycemia, hypothyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, or other conditions. It is necessary to visit a正规 hospital for examination and receive appropriate treatment accordingly. In summary, if the above symptoms occur, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention at a正规 hospital.
Generally, dizziness and general weakness with a body temperature of 35.5°C may be caused by low environmental temperature, malnutrition, hypoglycemia, hypothyroidism, or adrenal cortical insufficiency. It is necessary to visit a正规 hospital for examination and receive appropriate treatment accordingly. Specific analyses are as follows:
1. Low environmental temperature
If one stays in an environment with excessively low temperature for a prolonged period, body heat dissipates too quickly, leading to decreased body temperature. Some individuals may experience a temperature of 35.5°C accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness, general weakness, and cold sweating. In such cases, timely warming measures should be taken to relieve discomfort.
2. Malnutrition
If a patient has been dieting for weight loss over a long time, resulting in insufficient daily nutrient intake, the body's energy supply becomes inadequate, causing symptoms such as a temperature of 35.5°C, dizziness, fatigue, and cold sweating. The patient should resume normal eating habits and consume more protein-rich foods such as milk, beef, and chicken appropriately, which can strengthen physical condition and alleviate symptoms.
3. Hypoglycemia
When blood glucose levels are low, the body's sympathetic nervous system becomes excited, affecting normal sweat gland function and causing excessive sweating. This is usually accompanied by palpitations, hand tremors, cold sweating, and intense hunger. Symptoms often gradually improve after consuming sugar-containing foods promptly. If necessary, medications such as zinc gluconate oral solution, acarbose tablets, or voglibose tablets may be used under medical guidance.
4. Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism is a systemic low-metabolism syndrome caused by insufficient production of thyroid hormones or weakened thyroid hormone activity due to various reasons. Patients mainly present with cold intolerance, fatigue, and other symptoms; some may exhibit a temperature of 35.5°C along with dizziness, general weakness, and cold sweating. Patients can take medications such as levothyroxine sodium tablets, thyroid tablets, or Yikang capsules according to medical advice.
5. Adrenal Cortical Insufficiency
Adrenal cortical insufficiency is a disease caused by reduced secretion of adrenal cortical hormones under basal or stressful conditions due to various factors. Patients may develop symptoms including low blood pressure, fatigue, lethargy, and cold sweating, leading to manifestations such as a temperature of 35.5°C, dizziness, and general weakness. Under a doctor’s guidance, patients may take medications such as prednisone acetate tablets, fludrocortisone acetate tablets, or spironolactone tablets for treatment.
During treatment, it is important to maintain a positive mood and avoid excessive emotional excitement. At the same time, maintain regular rest patterns and avoid overexertion.
