Some causes of slightly lower-than-usual body temperature include infections, heavy alcohol use, and hypothyroidism. Occasional low temperatures are common since body temperature changes throughout the day, the Mayo Clinic says.
Best Answer: Hypothyroidism can cause low body temperatures. My normal temp is 96.9-97.0. I feel like crap when I'm at 98.6..that's like a slight fever for me lol. Also, if it's an oral thermometer make sure you aren't drinking/eating anything hot or cold 30 minutes before taking it, and don't smoke right before taking your temp. It can cause false readings.
