Brief answer....given below Detailed answer.... Hello, Thanks for the query. Yes ,this is a problem which one can encounter as the person ages. There can be various reasons for it which include medical as well as non meical reasons. Non medical reasons include... As you age the elasticity of blood vessels gets changed resulting in low blood circulation. The fat layer under the skin gets reduced resulting in feeling more cold. With age metabolic response of the body towards cold gets slowed down. Medical reasons are... Diabetes and hypertension. Use of drugs like beta blockers and calcium channel blockers for hypertension. High cholesterol. Hypothyroidism. I would advise you to consult your doctor and get investigated and if there is some deficiency somewhere,get it treated. in your case it could be because of both medical as well as non medical reasons,because of you being hypertensive as well as your age. I hope it helps,however you may revert to me for any further query. Best of luck Thanks

Hello, First of all,let me assure you that it doesn't pose any health risk to you. As far as treatment is concerned,There is no special medial treatment for it except to control your medical reasons. Certain non modifiable reasons like advancing age,less fat cover,slow metabolism etc can not be taken care of. Get your cholesterol levels,diabetes and thyroid checked up.Control them if out of range. Quit smoking,if any. Do regular exercises as it helps muscle tone and proper blood circulation.You can go for regular walks. Wear stockings and warm clothes. Eat well and do take your regular supplements. Thanks
