I'm not talking about the temp rise you get during exercise. Everyone sees their temps go up if they're moving more, that's just physics. But usually once you stop moving the heat dissipates and after an hour or so your temp is back to normal.
I went out for a walk today in the afternoon for about 20 minutes, maybe 2mph. A couple hours later I noticed my temps were a full half degree (F) higher than usual. My temp stayed elevated for about 3-4 hours post-exercise, and then came back to normal. Usually even light walks like this are thyroid suppressive for me, so I'm not sure if this was a fluke or if my metabolism is improving or something. Light walks like this also usually cause brain fog for me, but that didn't happen this time either.
I'm hypothesizing that I was walking fast enough to generate some CO2 and maybe lower O2 but slow enough not to increase my breathing too much. I've tried bag breathing in the past but it never did much for me.
Anyone experience anything like this?
