What Causes Persistent Cold Sensation In Hands And Feet?
I am an 18 year old female and for the past five years of my life my hands and feet have always been cold. Only once in a while will my hands get warm. Even when my body is hot I can feel my hands and feet are cold and I hate the feeling. I ve been told it s cause of low blood pressure and that I should get it checked out. What would be my best solution? Do I get it checked out or continue being cold all the time haha?

Thank you for your query.
Do your hands change colour( become pale, red or blue when put in cold water for a few minutes).
do you have any redness or rash on your face especially cheeks?
Do any of your family members have the same problem?
cold hands maybe a symptom of connective tissue disease.. If so, diagnosing it early and initiating appropriate medications will help prevent rapid progression.
I recommend you have it checked out.
hope this helps.
wish you good health
