Hi,
Coldness of hands and feet on episodic basis could be due to Acrocyanosis or Raynauds phenomenon. if your hand turns blue, it is more likely to be so.
It is advisable to rule out connective tissue diseases like SLE.
For the time being, do not expose hands and feet to cold, wear woolen gloves, take hot coffee and tea and avoid cold food items. if they persist, consult a physician or a rheumatologist.
hope this helped.
