delphicdragon Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 So, I managed to catch a cold. I have a runny/congested nose, clogged ears, a cough and a slight fever (100.4 max). When I gave in and went out to get a pizza, I noticed that I was feeling better after being out, so I took my temperature. It went DOWN to 99.3 from 100.3 about 15 minutes before. I didn't drink anything cold, so I'm very confused. After waiting about 30 mins sitting in the house, the fever was UP to 99.8. When I'm sitting still, I have my fever, when I'm up and moving it's gone.What's going on here? Any one else? Is this my autonomic nervous system forgetting how it's supposed to act when I'm sick?Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icesktr189 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 i dont know really whats going on but i experience the same things. When i am sick now its totally different than before. Some days i have a random fever while laying in bed and then a couple hours later after being out its gone. Im pretty sure its your ANS. sorry if this was not helpful but i know what your experiencing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenwic Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Yep, me too. The fever can be there one minute and gone the next. If I am already sick, just my heart rate being up after a meal can make my temp. go up. Then it goes back down after the food is digested.
