The face is on fire, but there is no temperature. Causes in women, men, child

The feeling of inner heat arises for various reasons. There are physiological, psychoemotional, everyday etiological factors. "Burning" face, but no temperature due to various somatic pathologies. Paroxysms provoke vegetative-vascular dystonia, an allergic reaction, an unexpected hormonal surge.

External factors provoking facial redness without temperature

Exogenous causes cause a similar effect once. The feeling of internal heat disappears and does not return after a change in external conditions, elimination of the provoking factor.

These reasons include:

• stuffiness in the room;
• prolonged exposure to direct sunlight;
• irritation of the skin of the face by gusty wind;
• the use of spicy foods;

• insect bites whose saliva contains toxic substances or allergens;
• intense physical activity;
• alcoholic intoxication.

The face burns, but there is no temperature (the reasons often lie in external conditions) due to the rapid absorption of hot or spicy food. The symptom is found during or immediately after eating.

The warmth spreads over everything, the skin starts to "burn", the cheeks turn red. The sensation of heat is accompanied by increased sweating. A common reason for this condition is the use of strong alcoholic drinks.

The heat spreads from the chest and epigastric surface to the lower limbs, neck, face. There is redness (hyperemia) of the skin, shine in the eyes. The warming effect lasts for a short time.

Hot or cold weather is another external factor that influences physiological responses. Irritates the epidermis, dries up the mucous membrane, inhibits or, on the contrary, activates the work of the sweat glands, sunburn.

Heatstroke signs:

• redness of the skin of the face, other parts of the body;
• feeling of heat in the cheeks, forehead, chin;
• increased sweating or dry scaly epidermis;
• nausea;
• activation of the gag reflex;
• general weakness;
• decreased muscle tone;
• cephalalgia;
• dizziness;
• convulsions.

In some situations, wearing tight, tight clothes of dark colors leads to an unpleasant condition. The fabric intensively absorbs solar radiation, impairs heat exchange and air access to the skin surface.

Diseases

A wide category of causes that cause persistent, prolonged, periodically recurring sensation of heat. This symptom is characteristic of vegetative-vascular dystonia. The disease is associated with a dysregulation of the tone of the walls of the bloodstream.

As a result, heat paroxysms occur in different parts of the body without an increase in temperature. Emotional stress or physical fatigue is considered a predisposing factor in a pathological condition.

Sometimes heat flushes to the face occur for no apparent reason. The skin turns pink, becomes hot, breathing quickens. The condition is accompanied by an acceleration of heart rhythms, an increase in pulse activity.

Paroxysms of vegetative-vascular genesis are combined with polymorphic signs:

• dizziness;
• vestibular disorders;
• tremor of the upper limbs;
• bradycardia;
• unmotivated anxiety.

Heat flushes are replaced by chills, there is a false urge to urinate.

The following leads to a feeling of heat on the face:

• anaphylactic manifestations;
• arterial hypertension;
• endocrine disorders;
• chronic neurological pathologies;
• cardiac dysfunction;
• metabolic and biochemical factors.

A person can "burn" with a false allergy - an inadequate reaction of the immune system to substances coming from food, components of drugs or cosmetics.

The sensation of heat is caused by the release of histamine in response to a chemical stimulus. Hot flush-provoking substances are found in strawberries, chocolate, and other foods.

The face is on fire, but there is no temperature (the reasons for this condition are often of pathological origin) due to arterial hypertension. The increasing rate of blood pressure is accompanied by an increase in heart rate, breathing difficulties.

A common cause is diseases of the central nervous system. The central nervous system controls the temperature regulation center located in the hypothalamus. When its functions are suppressed, paroxysmal hot flashes occur, not accompanied by hyperthermia.

 Among women

The general health and physiological state of the fair sex is largely determined by hormonal secretion.

She is subject to fluctuations:

• before menstruation;
• during menstrual bleeding;
• during gestation;
• when breastfeeding;
• with gynecological diseases;
• in menopause or when it is approaching.

Hot flashes cause the use of oral contraceptives, some diets for weight loss, excess weight. This condition is caused by changes in blood or intracranial pressure.

Common causes of heat flushes in women include:

• Side effect of medications. Some drugs activate metabolic processes, cause dizziness, and increase heart rate. This complex of physiological reactions leads to a sensation of heat.
• Oral contraceptives. Potent medications inhibit the function of the adrenal glands and ovaries. As a result, heat flushes are observed in the area of ​​the trunk, limbs, and face.
• Premenopausal syndrome or the onset of menopause. Physiological conditions are associated with a sharp decrease in hormonal secretion. Reorganization of the body leads to irreversible changes in endocrine activity, cardiovascular functions. The condition is associated with periodic heat flushes to the face, profuse sweating.
• Exhausting diets. Redness of the skin, occasional sensation of heat, dizziness provoke vitamin and mineral deficiency. The effect is characteristic of a deficiency of magnesium, potassium, sodium. Flushing of the face causes a lack of protein.

In case of frequently recurring conditions, it is necessary to consult a neurologist, endocrinologist or gynecologist. Heat flushes can be triggered by dangerous cardiovascular pathologies, endocrine, reproductive disorders.

Medicines that can cause heat paroxysms:

• systemic analgesics - Naproxen, Tramadol;
• cardiological - Amlodipine, Losartan;
• corticosteroid hormones;
• gastrointestinal - Omeprazole, Atropine;
• dermatological and local pain relievers - Lidocaine, Isotretinoin;
• tranquilizers and antidepressants - Fluoxetine, others;
• antibiotics - Sumamed, Azithromycin;
• some antiviral agents.

Hormone-dependent tumor processes often lead to a feeling of heat on the face without an increase in temperature.

In men

Among the typical causes of hot flashes to the face are systemic intoxication, the consequences of traumatic brain injury, an increased concentration of testosterone or adrenaline in the blood.

Typically male causes of an unpleasant condition are presented in the table:

Etiological factor	Physiological mechanism of development
Poisoning by chemicals	Due to difficult or specific working conditions. Work in the electroplating shop, in the steel industry, paint and varnish and welding operations lead to the accumulation of chemically aggressive substances in the body. Some are able to change physiological reactions, affect the work of the secretory glands.
Alcohol intoxication	Alcohol compounds have a warming effect. When they enter the systemic circulation, they cause heat flushes, which are especially acute in the area of ​​the face, where a large number of small vessels are concentrated.
Taking steroids and sports nutritional supplements	Such biologically active complexes have side effects. Preparations for increasing physical strength, building muscle mass, increasing dynamic endurance can cause short-term hot flashes.
Concussion	Injuries to the cerebral organ provoke tissue edema and hemodynamic disturbances. As a result, there are functional disorders of the center of thermoregulation, which are manifested by hot flashes to the face.
Increased testosterone levels	The main male sex hormone has fat burning properties. Its biochemical effect on lipid layers causes an increase in temperature without general hyperthermia.

The face is on fire, but men have no temperature with tumor processes in the brain regions. The exact cause of this condition is found out using a complex of laboratory and instrumental diagnostics. The symptom is complemented by redness of the skin, sudden high-intensity attacks of cephalalgia, muscle spasms.

In children

At puberty, a feeling of internal heat on the face provokes hormonal changes. The activation of the synthesis of such biochemical substances causes dramatic changes in mood and psychological state.

For children before puberty, typical causes of heat flushes are:

• food allergies;
• biological immunity of components of detergents or household chemicals;
• the first signs of seasonal virus infection;
• diphtheria;
• mental fatigue from school activities.

The feeling of heat on the face in children before the body temperature rises is accompanied by some infectious diseases - measles, scarlet fever, chickenpox. At the stage of puberty, the cause of an unpleasant symptom may lie in the defeat of the thymus.

The paired lobular gland is the main organ of the mechanism of immunogenesis. The thymus is responsible for the formation, development, and functioning of cellular defense against pathogenic agents, foreign bodies, and allergenic substances.

The thymus gland in adolescents synthesizes, among other biologically active compounds, growth hormone. With impaired functions of the thymus, secretion slows down or accelerates. In both cases, heat flushes are the first symptom of pathology.

Psychological reasons

Feeling hot without a rise in body temperature causes strong emotional arousal. Excitement, shame, fear are non-somatic factors that provoke an intense release of adrenaline.

An increased concentration of the hormone in the blood leads to hot flushes. The face is a sensitive part of the body, the first to react to emotional arousal, changes in the formula of hematological fluid and physiological reactions.

In a stressful situation, with strong excitement, acute feelings, the skin becomes hot, microcirculation increases through the vessels that have expanded from the increased pressure. Heat flushes due to psychological reasons are often accompanied by hyperemia.

Such factors lead to concomitant symptoms. Feeling of heat on the face is accompanied by:

• trembling fingers;
• increased sweating;
• pulsation of blood in the temples;
• acceleration of heart rhythms;
• muscle weakness;
• reactive state of mind or, on the contrary, mental numbness.

Such signs of intense anxiety are most characteristic of young women with a high rate of emotional lability, but they are found in people of different ages and gender.

Other reasons

The face is on fire, but there is no temperature (the causes of heat paroxysms are varied and numerous) due to dermatological pathologies, anhidrosis, diabetes mellitus. Such physiological manifestations are often caused by hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.

Intense or inhibited production of thyroid hormone by the thyroid gland provokes hot flushes. The biochemical compound regulates energy metabolism. Patients with hypothyroidism find it difficult to tolerate hot weather.

They periodically experience the following symptoms:

• feeling of internal heat without increasing body temperature;
• poor heat tolerance;
• excessive sweating;
• shortness of breath;
• tachycardia;
• small tremors in the limbs;
• weight loss with a sufficient amount of nutrients received;
• deterioration of the swallowing reflex;
• pathological irritability;
• unmotivated anxiety;
• increased nervous excitement;
• violation of visual function.

Hypothyroidism is characterized by polysystemic signs, among which there are heat flushes to the surface of the face. The symptom of thyroid dysfunction is combined with difficulty defecating, insomnia, and chronic fatigue.

From the dermatological reasons for the sensation of heat on the face without an increase in body temperature, rosacea is isolated. The disease is characterized by detachment of the mucous membrane, purulent eruptions, skin inflammation.

Couperosis, a systemic pathology characterized by hyperemia associated with the expansion of small capillaries and fragility of the vascular walls, leads to such a physiological state.

Disturbances of subcutaneous hemodynamics can cause heat flushes. Other dermatological causes are scleroderma, eczema, contact dermatitis. All of them cause inflammation of the skin, which has a thermal effect.

Of the infectious and parasitic causes, helminthiasis is noted - a helminthic invasion of a chronic course. The clinical picture of the disease is ambiguous, nonspecific, composed of several immune responses.

Among them, there are hot flushes to the face without an increase in body temperature. The heat effect is caused by gout. In rheumatic diseases of the joints, urates - uric acid salts - accumulate in the movable anatomical structures and the renal organ.

What to do when the face is on fire, but there is no temperature: diagnostic methods

The one-time state can be ignored. With recurring heat flushes accompanied by other symptoms, medical attention will be required to determine the exact cause of the ailment. The primary examination is carried out by a therapist.

He directs the patient to laboratory tests, instrumental diagnostics, consultation with a narrow-profile specialist. To assess the functional parameters of the cardiac mechanism, an electrocardiogram or echocardiographic examination is prescribed.

The face is on fire, but there is no temperature (a neurologist, cardiologist or general practitioner finds out the reasons) - a physiological condition that may be the first manifestation of a dangerous pathological process. To clarify the functional state of the cerebral organ, an electroencephalogram is used.

If you suspect the development of neoplasia of a malignant or benign nature, a computed tomography or scintigraphic procedure is prescribed. The complex of studies with regular heat flushes to the face includes a biochemical blood test.

It allows you to detect latent inflammatory processes or metabolic disorders that occur without hyperthermia.

Laboratory methods determine the concentration of the following hormones:

• thyroid;
• adrenal cortex;
• adrenocorticotropic;
• progesterone, follicle-stimulating and luteinizing in women.

Neurological examination is of great diagnostic value. Reflex activity is determined. The symmetry of autonomic innervating reactions is established, muscle tone is checked.

To assess the physiological characteristics of neurological activity and neuroregulation, specialized functional tests have been developed. A passive orthostatic test is performed.

The test is designed to test the relationship of syncope with fluctuations in blood pressure and cardiac activity. Neurological testing may be supplemented by a psychiatric assessment, as determined by the physician.

How to Ease Fever Symptoms: Treatments

If the condition is not caused by pathological reasons, it is enough to eliminate the provoking factor or use non-drug methods. To get rid of the heat effect that occurs after eating will help the elimination of spicy dishes, spices, spices from the diet.

It is recommended to give up alcoholic beverages, limit the consumption of black tea and coffee. Ways to eliminate heat paroxysms of a pathological nature depend on the cause of the occurrence. Women in menopause are prescribed hormone replacement therapy.

Synthetic estrogen, estradiol, progesterone reduce the frequency and intensity of heat paroxysms, suppress other symptoms characteristic of menopause. If hot flashes are triggered by high blood pressure, antihypertensive drugs are used.

To reduce autonomic reactions, sedatives are intended. Extracts of valerian, motherwort, St. John's wort are considered safe natural remedies. In the absence of the expected clinical effect, according to the doctor's prescription, herbs are replaced with mild tranquilizers.

The psycho-emotional state is stabilized by antidepressants. Complex therapy of neurological disorders associated with heat paroxysms includes multivitamin complexes, mineral nutritional supplements, stimulants of neurometabolic processes.

Psychotherapy is an important component of the treatment of a symptom provoked by emotional lability.

Physiotherapy procedures are used:

• a course of neurosedative and relaxing massages;
• manual, temperature, electromagnetic effects on reflexogenic points of the body;
• hydrotherapy;
• mud baths;
• Spa treatment.

Surgery is rarely used. Surgical procedures are indicated if the face is on fire, but there is no temperature, due to the tumor process. Irreversible pathological reasons for this condition force to resort to amputation of an organ or part of it in case of oncological diseases.
