If your body temperature is 95.5 °F, then it’s lower than it should normally be - you should take your temperature again, and if you’re sure the measurement is correct, visit your doctor.
What Should My Body Temperature Be?
The average body temperature for a human is 37.0 °C (98.6 °F), although it can vary by around 0.5 °C (0.9 °F) depending on what time of day it is!
Other things, including menstruation, can also affect your body temperature.
What Does It Mean If My Temperature Is Low?
Well, if you take the measurement orally, then you’ll usually get a slightly lower reading, especially if you’ve recently eaten or drunk something cool!
The batteries might be running low in your thermometer - this can mess with the readings. If you're sure that your temperature is 95.5 °F, then you might have hypothermia.
Hypothermia
A body temperature of 35.0 °C (95.0 °F) is usually a sign of hypothermia. If you feel very cold and you’re shivering, there's a good chance that this is what you have. Severe hypothermia can be fatal, so you should really get yourself checked out.
What Causes Hypothermia?
Hypothermia occurs when the body is exposed to very cold temperatures for a prolonged period of time. Alcohol consumption will make hypothermia worse, and should be avoided by people with low temperatures.
Hypoglycemia - low blood sugar - can also cause hypothermia.
