hmmmm... interesting question. I started getting sensitive to heat about the time I turned 40 and along with the change of life thingie was moody as h*ll during the next 5 or 6 years... then that got better and in 2000 after my dx with MS I could not tolerate heat period, but my mood didn't really change, just withdrew to a cold shower and cold blowing air.
what I find interesting about this whole heat sensitivity is a couple of summers ago I decided to go to a Native American "Sweat"... knowing full well how sensitive I was to heat and that it would be EXTREMELY hot in there... I was also practicing yoga regularly, yoga breathing, eating once a day, losing weight, and it just felt 'right' to do. Though I didn't make it but about 20 minutes, after that I was LESS sensitive to the heat! now, I haven't been doing my yoga for about a year and I find myself once again very sensitive to heat mood doesn't seem to change though. I just start frantically looking for COLD when I get overheated!

It's not just you, trust me. Whenever I get overheated I accelerate from a nice, easygoing, funloving person to nasty mood mode in warp speed...and the worst part is it feels as if my body is being possessed. LOL As soon as I cool down, I'm back to normal. I can feel it coming on so I do my best to cool down fast - I can't stand myself when I get in that mood!

The heat is NOT my friend.
I am a miserable person when the temp goes past 75. The humidity about kills me. My kids and dh hate to be around me when the temp goes up. If Momma ain't happy nobodys happy

I'm more cold sensitive than heat sensitive. So this is my problem: as soon as it's warm, the A/C goes on. I'm okay outside to about 90, but then I do have some sx - this time it's vertigo. Come inside and it's freezing (to me) and that hurts.
So I've waited nine months to be warm, still dealing with the heat sx, and still freezing in my own house. Last night I'm clutching the couch trying not to fall off and dh is complaining as soon as he came home from work( blah blah blah, kids, blah blah bills). I said I was going to bed. He said he'd be up in a bit. I snapped at him to sleep on the couch.

The heat brings out the MonSter in me that's for sure! Poor dh will say you don't look good...you better cool off, I think he does this so that I don't turn on him! LOL (he calls me the queen B when I get overheated and B doesn't stand for bumble bee! )
Weird thing is it can be 100 outside and I've got sweat pants on in the house. The a/c freezes my legs. Go figure!
