    Our body uses perspiration mainly to reduce its core temperature. It seems like this temperature control mechanism is not working properly in your case. This symptom can occur due to some disorders or due to certain medications. For more information search the net for hypohidrosis or anhidrosis.  

    While you have this condition, I don't think it is recommended to exercise excessively since there is a danger that your body might overheat. 

    Did you ever measure your actual temperature (while you are feeling hot)?

    Did you have any blood work done? Did you talk to your GP? You posted on the hyperthyroidism forum. Do you suspect it might be related to a thyroid disorder?

      I'm returning to doctor tommorow, my tempature appears as normal but it's quite an unbareable heat constantly I've also recent had bloods done which I will ask about tommorow. Exersize is the only relief I can get and I've tried to not over do it either buts it's got me a bit down in the dumps
