Heat intolerance can have various causes, ranging in severity from 'minor' to 'very serious'. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.
Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose heat intolerance, we could:
Cause | Probability | Status |
---|---|---|
Hyperthyroidism | 90% | Confirm |
High Histamine | 30% | Unlikely |
Epstein-Barr Virus | 3% | Ruled out |
Multiple Sclerosis | 1% | Ruled out |
Adrenal Fatigue | 1% | Ruled out |
How does hot weather affect you in general?
Possible responses:
→ I can't take the heat well→ It makes little difference / I'm fine / don't know → I enjoy hot weather |
Damaged nerve fibers have a strongly diminished tolerance for heat. Increases as little as 0.1 degrees centigrade can decrease conduction or cause blockage, which will result in the appearance of symptoms.
