Body Temps

[chigga77 21]

After surgery I realized my body temp stays in the mid 96 degree mark. I feel colder but when the doc takes my blood work. It all comes back normal does this happen to other people here

My body temperature has always been slightly lower than normal, 97.6 instead of 98.7 or whatever the norm is. It went a little lower for a while after surgery, running around 97, but it has stabilized now. I think that might account for how cold I felt for the first few months post op.

OTOH, my blood pressure has dropped into the low normal range, running 110/60-70 and my heartrate and breathing and EKG reflect my new, much more active lifestyle. Those are great changes, so I'll take being a little colder than normal.
