I found out that my body temprature is lower than average by 2 degrees , is that normal for a 20 year old ?

normal body temp flucuates and is normal.  the 98.6 thing is old school.

36.5°C or 97.7 F is the normal human body temperature. temperatures equal and higher than 37.5°C or 99.5 F means that there is sth wrong with you.

generally people prefer about 70 degrees F. It can be lower but people in general will find it too cool. Some might find even 70 overly cool. Remember body temperature is 98 and water is a good conductor of heat. If it is sunny and warm outside, the water can be cooler and feel comfortable than if it is not. On a cloudy cool day, 80 water termperature will feel much better than 70.

I would say that it would be very hard to tell an exact tempurature with bare hands because the temperature you seem to feal is relative to the tempurature of your hands. \nFor example, if you hands are warm, go run them under the pretty hot water on the tap. It feels pretty warm and comfortible. Now go bury your hands in the snow for a few minutes until they feel colder all te way through. Return to your warm water. The same tempurature of water seems to be quite hot! \nThe reason for this (I think) is because of nerve impulses. When there is a change in the temperature of your hand that is a large change, your nerves are disturbed, and send the impulse of heat to your brain. If you hand is already hot, than this change is miniscule, cause the nerves to have less of a reaction.\nI hope this helps.

Yes it is. 60-100bpm is normal. I wish mine was that good LOL.

If your a teenager going through hormonal changes than that's normal because of your body urging you to have sex, if your 21 than that's just fucking hot. And if your 40 then maybe your just a huge pervert.

In the summer everyone likes to set their air conditioners to below 70F.  Winter is the best time to do that!  Each degree below 70F can save significantly on your heating bill because a cooler house loses far less heat to the outdoors and the furnace will have to pull less cold air into the house to go up the chimney.  The cooler the air the easier it will be to keep it humidified, which also affects comfort.  I keep my temperature at about 63F in upper NY State and we are all very comfortable wearing cosy sweaters, etc.\n\nOlder people and infants and very young children can not regulate body temperature as well and the room temperature may have to remain higher (perhaps 70F) to avoid hypothermia.

I would contact a hematologist so that you can have thorough exam...but I also want you to understand that there are normal high and low results...there are some people who don't conform to the norma...a normal WBC is 4.0 to 10.5..I would like that second opinion with a hematologist and ease my fears..As a nurse I would not speculate what it may be..and as I said it may be normal for you..I have cared for patients who has a normal temperature of 96 and if they have a fever it is 98.6 so see we are not all the same...good luck and I hope you get good news.

cut it down maybe 10 or 15f pounds, then you should feel comfortable.  i say that it does not matter.  u r fine the way you are, 135 is not that bad.

it just means your body is different from everyone else, like it should be... if you feel you need to, go ask your doctor... I also am a very cold person, and i am just fine!

Not everybody runs at 98.6. It's normal to vary from that degree. You can be higher or lower. 98.6 is just an average. I run about 97.2. So at 98.6, I would actually be running a fever for me.

It really depends on what state you live in.  The typical range is from low 20's to high 20's.  The following link will allow you to search the average for your own state.

could be. as we are more and more able to effectively control our environment we find the average temp of the world we live in is higher. this will effect our average body temp.\nBut.. the sedentary thing would tend to infer we are cooler now. However, on average.. buggered if I know.\nWould be a good bit of research.\nthe global warming goons would love it!!!!

if your temp is 96.6 you most likely don't have the true flu. yuou propably have the latest stuff thats going around you get a cough that lasts for a while and you feel miserable. and no that temp is nothing to worry about. some people have lower than 98.6 for their normal temps, and some have higher.

no because ur body is warm.

98.6 is your core temperature. Your actual skin temperature is closer to 80.0 degrees. It is typically only a 15 degree difference in temperature between an ambient 70.0 degree air temp and your skin temp. Temperature of the skin on your head is probably about 89 to 90 degrees at a resting state. Enjoy.

A temperature of 99.0 to 99.9 indicates only one illness: hypochondria.  Normal temperatures range from about 96.0 to 100.0, and even by a conservative estimate, temperatures below about 100.5 don't count as a fever, and aren't cause for alarm.  What you describe sounds to be well within normal range.\n\nI must say, though, I'm a bit confused as to why you posted this in the cancer catagory.  Also, this is something that should be discussed with the child's pediatrician, not random people online who may or may not know what they're talking about.
