A: Maybe, see a doctor though.! Although normal human body temperature is usually stated as 98.6 F (37 C) orally, it actually ranges from 97.5 to 98.8 F (36.4 to 37.1 C). Some people have temperatures in the 96 F range and feel fine. Your body temperature is not considered dangerously low until it is below 95 F (35 C).

Mild reductions in body temperature are often temporary and don't indicate a serious problem or condition. For example, your temperature normally is lower in the morning than in the evening. The most common cause of a lower-than-normal body temperature is exposure to cold. But occasionally, a low body temperature can indicate an underlying problem or condition, such as:

* Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism)

* Diabetes

* Adrenal gland insufficiency (Addison's disease)

* Hypothalamus dysfunction

* Liver failure

* Kidney failure

* Widespread infection (sepsis)

* Excessive use of alcohol or illicit drugs

* A side effect of certain medications, such as phenothiazines, barbiturates, opiates, clonidine, lithium and benzodiazepines

If your low body temperature persists, consult your doctor.

Yup. All the women in my family have a typical body temperature of 95.6-96.8 degree F. 98.6 is just an average temperature. That means some people run a little cooler, and others a little warmer. I don't know if it's true, but somebody once told me that people with naturally lower body temperatures tend to live longer. =)
