Factor VII deficiency and heat

Hello! I (25F) have a severe factor VII deficiency. Recently my bleeding has gotten wayyy worse and I’ve had to up my doses of cyklokapron significantly. Even with the meds, I’m having multiple bleeds a day lasting over 40 minutes and an increase in bruising. I haven’t changed my diet or lifestyle at all but we are going through a heatwave here so I’m wondering if that could be the culprit? Has anyone else noticed an increase in bleeding when it’s very hot? Not sure if it’s worth going to the haematologist for or not as I had my yearly check up about 4 months ago. Thanks!
