We all have met someone at least once in our lives who complains of always feeling cold, even when it’s not too cold outside. Their hands or feet always feel cold. But do you know that always being cold can be an indication of an underlying cause or disease. If you are wondering what the possible reasons could be, here are some of the possibilities. You can take a look at your lifestyle and other symptoms and understand if the listed problems are worth paying attention to.
Possibly due to anemia
People suffering from anemia often complain of feeling cold all the time. It indicates less amount of red blood cells and that can lead to a compromised supply of oxygen to body parts.
Vitamin deficiency
People who have low levels of vitamin B-12 and folic acid may feel cold all the time. Get your vitamin levels checked to confirm the possibility.
Maybe due to Hypothyroidism
When the production of thyroid hormones is compromised, it slows down different processes of the body and that may include feeling cold, being tired, and low heart rate. If you have been observing other symptoms, get yourself tested.
Recent weight-loss
People who have recently lost a lot of weight may feel cold as our body maintains an internal temperature which may take time to adjust if you have recently lost a lot of fat.
Diabetes
The kidney damage that happens as a result of diabetes is known as diabetic nephropathy. One symptom of diabetic nephropathy is feeling cold all the time.
Feeling cold is not a big problem in general but it has become difficult for you to get through the day or focus on your work, you should definitely pay attention to this problem and consult a doctor.
