Why am I always so cold?

Answer 1

Maybe you have bad circulation - failing that, turn the heating up LOL! Sorry

Answer 2

There is a big difference between being cold and feeling cold.

Someone used to a tropical country could feel cold in Ireland, but not necessarily be cold.

If a person is abnormally cold, and lacking in energy, and overweight, and other people are not cold, that would suggest a sluggish metabolism. The causes and treatment of a sluggish metabolism are too much to tackle here, except for one idea.

Hypothyroidism is one syndrome characterised by a shortage of thyroxine. The thyroid gland produces thyroxine. By supplying certain nutrients it may be possible to get the thyroid to produce an appropriate amount.

Answer 3

I'm always cold also! Well, not so much lately. But it's always my hands! I even play piano, and I can play for hours and my hands are still cold! When people shake/touch/ hold my hand, they're like "You have the cold, clammy hands of death!" I hate it! I think it has something to do with circulation. Well I feel your pain! lol
Have a nice day! :)

Answer 4

Are you very thin? I had a bit of an eating problem years ago and I still feel the cold worse than others. Or it could be circulation problems? So you could try that test where you pinch the end of your finger and see how fast the blood comes back.

Answer 5

Probably telling you what anyone should know, but just in case you've not concidered them:
Cold extremities (feet, hands) only would suggest a circulation problem (blood vessels contracting to reduce bloodflow to the area).
If you also feel physically tired, maybe you just need to eat more, or have a problem metabolising food or converting your body's energy stores back to glucose.
If you are underweight you will have less fat under your skin to insulate your body.
If you move around/exercise at regular intervals then your muscles will generate extra heat which will help maintain your body temperature.

Answer 6

Schedule an appointment with your Dr to determine if you have low iron. While many women suffer from iron deficiency, there are cases where it can be a serious issue and being cold with dizzy spells, tired all the time are just a few symptoms.

Answer 7

Probably because you are more warm-blooded than others, which makes the air around you feel cold even when its only a few degrees colder? but you are like me! I'm always cold even when people around me are sweating thier guts out. haha.

Answer 8

Some people have a naturally lower temperature than others. I for example have a temperature of 96.8 instead of the normal 98.6. Another reason could be circulation problems or you could always be run down from lack of sleep.

Answer 9

Hey there, u might have a condition known as Anemia, or u might have poor circulation, or suffer from Raynauds Disease- a disorder that effects the blood flow to fingers and toes. It could be a side effect of stress, or a symptom of an underlying disease effecting blood flow. So please see ur doctor and ask about these conditions!

Answer 10

It's probably just natures way of letting you know that you are about to 'snuff it'
This is certainly the spot to obtain medical advice isn't it?
See you may have just thought it was a bit of a chill, but now you know!
Hope you've led a good and honest life??
Hope this helps cheer you up a bit and puts your mind at rest??

Answer 11

Perhaps you sweat more than usual, and since the sweat must evapourate, your body loses heat and therefore is colder. You could also have a lower metabolic rate, meaning that energy is not used as quickly, and not as much heat is released.
