I'm desperate here. It's only spring, only 65 outside, yet it's in the 80s in my apartment all night long, despite opening windows at night and using fans to circulate the heat out.
I live in a high rise condo apartment downtown, corner unit, with floor to ceiling glass on the South and West sides, on an upper floor. There's no AC.
Property management won't allow any modifications to the windows (not even solar film), no window AC allowed, the windows aren't designed to accommodate curtains (meaning no blackout shades)...
I'm dying already, and it's only spring. RIP me when it's summer.
That's why I'm wondering if, for my own survival, I should lose as much weight as possible?
I'm 5'10 and 133 lbs right now, with an average body temperature of 99.8 (it's always been like that, doctors have ruled out health issues).
At what BMI were you when you noticed feeling colder more easily? I swear to god I'm not joking. I'll go on a crash diet if it'll help me survive the summer, but I don't want to go on a diet and look like a stick insect for nothing if my plan is unlikely to work.

And yes, I have lost my mind.
This is the first thing that came to my mind, you are quite slender for your height and to be so hot when it's 65 outside. It's 65 here outside and I'm chilly today, it's cloudy and overcast day -- what area of the world do you reside, I wonder.

You rented an apartment that did not have A/C - suck it up buttercup.
Wrap yourself in a wet sheet and stand in front of the fan. I guarantee you will cool off.
Ms. Wander, the hypothalamus gland (which is part of the brain) regulates body temperature. Have you had an MRI?
You already know your temp is too high. I once asked an RN (as they were taking my temp) did they think 98.6 would always be the standard. They told me that in their opinion, the human body would begin to become cooler, not warmer.
You are too young to be going through any change this extreme, there has to be another reason. Look into this young One. I hope you find an answer. Extreme heat is not a good thing to experience. Best of luck to you.
note: When my wife went through change of life, we used to take wet kitchen towels rung out, and then place in freezer. They froze solid. When she suffered a bout of over heat, she would then wrap a frozen (still bendable)
towel around her neck. It instantly cooled her down.
