Why do you always feel like you have a fever when you really don't?


The technical term for this condition is "sensory impairment". There are four common types of sensory disorders: heightened sensation, decreased sensation, inversion of sensation, and internal sensory discomfort.

Enhanced sensation refers to a strong response to general stimuli, such as an unusually bright light, or an unusually loud and irritating conversation. Hyperalgesia, on the other hand, is the opposite of hyperalgesia, with common examples such as a patient who is asleep or in a coma and has a reduced sensation of generalized pain.

Sensory inversion is a condition in which sensations of opposite nature are produced in response to external stimuli, e.g., in relatively hot water, some individuals feel that the water is cool.

Internal discomfort, on the other hand, means that the discomfort comes from the inside of the patient's body, for example: some patients always feel unspeakably uncomfortable in their abdominal cavity, and moreover, they describe the pain of their intestines being pulled and twisted.

There are many reasons for sensory disorders, but they are more often dominated by common psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, neurosis, and a number of other serious mental illnesses.

Going back to the question of the subject, why do you always feel like you have a fever when there are no abnormal findings on examination, I think that this is most likely the sensory disorder we are talking about today. This condition is most often seen in middle-aged female friends, and most of these people have something in common:

1. Conflict between social life and family life: Unlike traditional culture, modern women have to participate in social life. As a result, they are burdened with an additional workload in the family than men, thus increasing psychological pressure.

2, professional role and family role conflict: the workplace requires them to be dedicated, enterprising and pioneering spirit of the staff; while the family requires them to become a gentle, virtuous wife, mother and daughter-in-law.

3. The contradiction between subjective expectations and objective reality: many middle-aged women are more ambitious in their careers, but for a variety of reasons, in the reality of social life, self-expectations are more likely to encounter setbacks and are difficult to realize. For example, due to the age characteristics of women, people in middle age will feel overwhelmed. This also leads to psychological stress.

4, physiological reasons: with age, the female estrogen pregnancy hormone level decreases, resulting in a series of physical symptoms, which is often referred to as "menopause syndrome", especially some individuals will appear early menopausal symptoms.


In summary, excessive psychological stress can lead to physical and mental illnesses, so not only me personally, many doctors have found that this inexplicable physical discomfort (including cold, heat, pain, fatigue) is mostly concentrated in middle-aged women, and even if the rest is not easy to relieve. This is accompanied by insomnia, dizziness, menstrual irregularities, and ultimately a series of emotional symptoms such as agitation, irritability, and depression.

To cope with the above, we can choose both medication and self-psychological adjustment:

One, medication:Modern medicine believes that: people in depression, anxiety at the same time, the neurotransmitters in the brain will undergo some changes, which is dominated by the reduction of pentazocine (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE). And the reduction of the two will cause the body's inhibition of the nociceptive nerves weakened, so depression, anxiety, people are more prone to pain sensation, or pain sensation is enhanced.


Based on this principle, then, treatment with some antidepressant and anti-anxiety medications will gradually restore 5-HT and NE in the brain, thus improving or alleviating depression and anxiety, and then indirectly alleviating the sensory disorders (i.e., pain, heat, cold, numbness, and other discomforts) that we are discussing today.

Also, for those menopausal women, estrogen supplements are available to combat menopausal symptoms.

Second, self-psychological regulation:

1, is to enhance the ability to adapt: in the face of problems, can make objective, rational analysis, when encountering contradictions, not worried, not frustrated, to maintain optimism, calm state of mind.

2, pay attention to emotional regulation: our body is with the changes in human emotions and the corresponding changes, relaxed and happy, pulse, blood pressure, gastrointestinal motility, metabolism, are in a smooth and coordinated state, the body's immune-active substance secretion increased, the ability to fight diseases: on the contrary, when the bad mood, can lead to hypertension, coronary heart disease, ulcer disease and even the occurrence of cancer. Therefore, the regulation of emotions, the correct treatment of psychological conflicts that occur, so that their hearts more optimistic and cheerful and calm and peaceful is particularly important.

3, relief pressure, do not and their own: to do not drill "bull's-eye", self-soothing, self-relief, always maintain a good mental state.

4, comfortable interpersonal relationships: from the moral and ethical point of view, we have to understand, respect others, treat each other with sincerity, more understanding and tolerance, but from the practical point of view, from another strong point of view, we can avoid those who often make us feel disgusted, disgusted.

5, rationalize the rhythm of life: to do regular living, sleep enough, have work and leisure. Learn to rest in the busy, cultivate a wide range of hobbies. After work to raise flowers and plants, enjoy music, practicing calligraphy and painting, can be happy mood, harmonize blood and qi, relieve stress, enhance physical and mental health; at the same time pay attention to sports, these are good ways to reduce stress.

If you feel feverish but the temperature measurement is normal, it is more likely to be considered to be caused by autonomic dysfunction. As long as there are no other specific manifestations, such as cough, expectoration, sore throat, diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc., there is no need for special treatment for the time being, and it is usually necessary to maintain a good mood. For women after the age of 40, the more common cause cannot be ruled out as the presence of menopausal syndrome, which requires regular oral nerve medication. Intermittent fever, observed for sweating, is also needed to exclude manifestations of hyperthyroidism, requiring improved thyroid function and thyroid ultrasound. Patients should not blindly use drugs, need to be under the guidance of the doctor, and drink more water during the fever.
