98.6 degrees

2006-11-30 00:19:45 · answer #1 · answered by Anonymous · 0 0

The mediated body temperature is 37.6 degrees Celcius.
(=99.7 degrees Fahrenheit, but Fahrenheit is not the official standard).

The often seen ±37C or ±98.6F is the temperature you'd expect when measuring the temperature in the armpit. However, that temperature is lower than the real body temperature.

Normal is 98.6 but mine is 97.6. This creates a great problem as I am always hot before anyone else and sweat badly. I have to keep my thermostat at 64 to 66 in the winter and lower it more to work and most people freeze at that temperature.

Human body temerature is considered to be normal at about 37 degrees celsius........many people have a body temperature that ranges from about 35 to 38 degress celsius.....! ;)

Hot
Fevers are not to be confused with heat stroke. In fever the person can feel cold at high body temperatures since the body is fooled into thinking it is cold by the infectant microbe affecting the point that the body thermostat is set at. It is literally set higher than usual.

37°C (98.6°F) - Normal body temperature (which varies between about 36.123-37.5°C (96.8-99.5°F)

38°C (100.4°F) - Sweating, feeling very uncomfortable, slightly hungry.

39°C (102.2°F) (Pyrexia) - Severe sweating, flushed and very red. Fast heart rate and breathlessness. There may be exhaustion accompanying this. Children and epileptics may be very likely to get convulsions at this point.

40°C (104°F) - Fainting, dehydration, weakness, vomiting, headache and dizziness may occur as well as profuse sweating.

41°C (105.8°F) - (Medical emergency) - Fainting, vomiting, severe headache, dizziness, confusion, hallucinations, delirium and drowsiness can occur. There may also be palpitations and breathlessness.

42°C (107.6°F) - Subject may turn pale or remain flushed and red. They may become comatose, be in severe delirium, vomiting, and convulsions can occur. Blood pressure may be high or low and heart rate will be very fast.

43°C (109.4°F) - Normally death, or there may be serious brain damage, continuous convulsions and shock. Cardio-respiratory collapse will occur.

44°C (111.2°F) or more - Almost certainly death will occur; however, patients have been known to survive up to 46.5°C (115.7°F).[3]

Cold
37°C (98.6°F) - Normal body temperature (which varies between about 36-37.5°C (96.8-99.5°F)

36°C (96.8°F) - Mild to moderate shivering (this drops this low during sleep). May be a normal body temperature.

35°C (95.0°F) - (Hypothermia) is less than 35°C (95.0°F) - Intense shivering, numbness and bluish/grayness of the skin. There is the possibility of heart irritability.

34°C (93.2°F) - Severe shivering, loss of movement of fingers, blueness and confusion. Some behavioural changes may take place.

33°C (91.4°F) - Moderate to severe confusion, sleepiness, depressed reflexes, progressive loss of shivering, slow heart beat, shallow breathing. Shivering may stop. Subject may be unresponsive to certain stimuli.

32°C (89.6°F) - (Medical emergency) Hallucinations, delirium, complete confusion, extreme sleepiness that is progressively becoming comatose. Shivering is absent (subject may even think they are hot). Reflex may be absent or very slight.

31°C (87.8°F) - Comatose, very rarely conscious. No or slight reflexes. Very shallow breathing and slow heart rate. Possibility of serious heart rhythm problems.

28°C (82.4°F) - Severe heart rhythm disturbances are likely and breathing may stop at any time. Patient may appear to be dead.

24-26°C (75.2-78.8°F) or less - Death usually occurs due to irregular heart beat or respiratory arrest; however, some patients have to been known to survive with body temperatures as low as 14.2°C (57.5°F).[3]
