Question: I'm freezing cold. it is 86 degrees outside, can't get warm. feeling last from 10 minutes to hours. what can be the cause?
Brief Answer:
hypothyroidism or anemia
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
I see you are feeling cold despite having high temperatures in your environment, This could be a sign of hypothyroidism. The thyroid gland is responsible for temperature regulation of your body and if it is not functioning properly you get the feeling of being cold all the time. You could also have low blood counts. A low blood count or anemia means you don't have enough blood circulating in your body to maintain heat.
I recommend then that you seek you medical provider and have them check your thyroid function and your blood counts.
I hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with any of your health care concerns or questions
