I don't know what causes the "internal heat" symptom, but I have also experienced it. I used to say that it felt like my insides were cooking. I feel like there is heat radiating from my body cavity. I also do not sweat at all in response to being warm; being outdoors in the warmth or even in a warm room or in the kitchen when there is a burner on makes me feel woozy and like I am going to pass out. I only get cold and sweaty in association with other autonomic symptoms, but never sweat when I normally would have before getting dysautonomia. I don't have much to offer in terms of understanding or treating this symptom, but I wanted you to know that I know what you are talking about. I don't experience coughing related with it though. The only thing that sometimes helps me is holding an icepack to my core body, usually my abdomen when I get this feeling. Hang in there all!

I am looking for others' experiences with this symptom. Like someone lit a fire in my body. This has been going on for well over a year and so many Dr's has chalked it up to hot flashes. I know what hot flashes are and they are not hot flashes. I have had my medication switched but I still get them. Its taking a toll on my life. AC and fans don't help at all. I am desperate for some answers. I am from the Ohio and I could not wear any winter clothes at all because I got so hot. I would literally go outside in below freezing weather with no coat on and I was not cold at all.Now I live in florida which is the worse state to live in for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
