I sometimes have these episodes where I'll be eating dinner and then start to feel kind of feverish and break out in a cold sweat (I mean literally sweating). After I'm finished eating I take my temperature and it has climbed up to 99.5 or higher and it really freaks me out. My throat also feels tight and nervous at times. These episodes last a few weeks and then I feel great again - only to be hit with them again a month or two later. Does any of this ring any bells with anyone?.

Hi,
Welcome to the ehealthforum and I am glad to help you out. To be honest, there’s no such known illness in which there’re such episodes of fever/rise of temperature during eating which come in cycles. However, it makes sense to get yourself evaluated by a physician. A thyroid profile should be done as increase in metabolism rate due to hyperthyroidism can result in increase in the body temperature. An x-ray of the chest and ultrasound along with liver and kidney function tests should also be done to sure everything’s fine. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
