I see no point in reading any more into this and giving it a complicated medical explanation.
I don't know if the 28 degree policy has much to do with this given it has been like this even before the Tohoku earthquake. I believe it has more to do with the culture and climate in Japan. Just like how an African native probably wouldn't think it's unbearable at 28C and might even find it cold.
