is a 96.7 temperature bad?

Question

i just took my temperature on a digital thermometer is a 96.7 temp. bad?

Answer 1

Not at all. The average is 98.6, at an average room temp, with normal levels of exertion, without regard to recent food intake or exertion. So really the average temp should fall 96-99 degrees. If it climbs to 100+ and there are other symptoms it could be a sign of infection.

Answer 2

ninety 8.6 degree physique temperature is a normal. maximum folk of folk's physique temp is around that selection. This even inspite of the shown fact that would not make having a temp exterior that selection undesirable. My ordinary physique temp is ninety six.7, and the only difficulty I ever had with that physique temp is getting sent on from college while i became ill as a results of fact my 3 degree temp boost wasn't registered. There are those human beings that have decrease then ordinary and better then ordinary physique temperatures. it somewhat isn't any huge deal.

Answer 3

No I work in a nursing home and not all thermometers register right if you take it a few minutes later it will say different, also that can be a normal temp for you

Answer 4

98.6 is "normal," but many people are normally hotter or colder than that. Some of it depends on the site that you take your temperature. Rectally is more reliable than orally. Furthermore, eating or drinking right before taking your temperature orally can give a false reading.

If you are having symptoms of illness along with your low temperature, see a doctor.

Answer 5

Many thanks for your research and persistance in determining an underlying cause of low body temperature. I have been running subnormal temps for the past twenty-one years and none of my physicians seemed to be terribly concerned. During these years, I had long suspected that my fatigue(never felt rested), slow but steady weight gain(despite various diets), and feeling of being "chilled to the bone" especially in the evening had something to do with my temperature running between 95.4 to 96.7 degrees on a regular basis. Unless I used an electric blanket or insisted that my husband warm my side of the bed before getting under the covers, I could lay in one spot for hours and never be able to warm the sheets directly under me.

A distant relative happened to mention that she had recently been diagnosed with WTS and went on to describe her symptoms of being chilled constantly. I immediately began asking questions, read your book and manual and suddenly began making sense out of the symptoms I had been experiencing.

I made a call to a physician in my area and inquired about his willingness to take me on as a patient. He read your book and manual, ran the appropriate bloodwork and proceeded to treat me following your protocol.

My temperature has gradually returned to close to normal (97.7 to 98.6), I am experiencing a sense of well-being that I haven't felt for years. I actually wake in the morning feeling energetic and am motivated to accomplish things, rather than trying to struggle through the day seeing how little I can do to just get by. As an additional benefit, I have lost twenty-eight pounds and am wearing clothes that haven't fit for several years.

Answer 6

Not at all. Your temperature flucuates through out the day and can be as much as 1-2 degrees different.

Answer 7

no, it's not bad. the normal temperature is 98.6. Some people's temperatures are lower than others.

Answer 8

Its alright. Everytime I get mine checked, its always about 97., and they never say its abnormal. Its better a little low, and a little high. Dont worry!

Answer 9

no, that is not bad at all. your temperature should normally be 98.6 degrees Farenheit, but you could just be cold. don't worry about it.

Answer 10

no its not the norm is around 98 so you're good don't worry :)
