With the onset of autumn and the lowering of temperatures, everyone started wearing a jacket. To you, however, it seems not enough: you are wearing a sweater and jacket, yet you continue to tremble.
Your constant chattering from the cold may be but a passing problem. But it could also be a symptom that should not be underestimated. Hypothyroidism, anemia, Parkinson’s disease … if you are always cold you could suffer from these health problems. Let’s see when to worry.
Don’t panic
First, if you feel like you’re always cold, don’t be alarmed. You may just be tired. In fact, it is proven that physical weakness corresponds to the perception of a drop in body temperature.
To finally feel warm, try to recover your energy: you should sleep more (perhaps thanks to these exercises), eliminate stress, eat a healthier diet and drink more water. Secondly, it is normal for people to suffer from low temperatures less with age. The organism of the elderly, in fact, has a slower metabolism and less muscle mass. This causes it to produce less heat.
Finally, nothing to worry about if you feel cold and shiver when you have a fever. Or, while you are recovering from an infection or virus. Your body is in fact using most of the energy at its disposal to get back to health. He cannot therefore keep you warm as usual.
When to worry
If the feeling of cold is caused by simple fatigue or a virus, it should be temporary. But if you are constantly cold, more than those around you, you should talk to your doctor. Even more so if you notice other symptoms, such as weight changes, labored breathing, fast pulse, hair loss.
In fact, if you are always cold you may suffer from these health problems:
a) problems with the thyroid gland (a gland which, among other things, also regulates body temperature);
b) malnutrition (which does not necessarily mean not eating enough, but also not being able to absorb some nutrients);
c) circulatory problems (in this case the sensation of cold is concentrated mainly in the hands and feet);
d) injury of a nerve (the cold is perceived in the part of the body governed by the injured nerve);
e) problems withipofisi;
f) anemia;
g) extreme thinness;
h) ansia;
i) hypersensitivity of the nerves;
l) Parkinson’s disease;
m) fibromialgia.
Being cold all the time, however, can also be a sign of a happy event: pregnant women are more likely to suffer from anemia and circulatory problems. It is therefore normal for you to feel cold in your hands and feet if you are pregnant. In any case, a medical examination is always the first step necessary to solve the problem of perennial cold!
