What Causes Coldness In The Body?

I live in Florida and was outside for a couple of hours this afternoon. When I came in I was sweating and took a warm shower. I got in my car and went two miles from my house to the Publix store in town and was walking through the store feeling like I was freezing. I went outside in the 89 degree weather and still thought I was freezing. I turned the heat in the car on high and after 20 minutes started feeling warm. When I got home I ate some chicken livers, first thing I had eaten all day, but the chills came back. I went to bed and turned on the electric blanket and it warmed me up. I am out f the bedroom now and still feel warm, I don t feel bad just cold. It feels like it on the inside.

Welcome to Health care magic. Thank you for posting your question.

I can understand your concern.

I went through the details of your description. I can understand that you are finding it uncomfortable because of the cold intolerance.

Check a few more things :
Do you feel lethargic ?
Have you gained weight in the recent past ?
These are the symptoms one has if he/she has thyroid dysfunction. (Hypothyroidism)

I would suggest you to have a serum TSH ,FreeT3, FreeT4 level done and a fasting blood glucose done.

You can consult a clinician or get back to us.
Don't worry. Everything will be fine.


Post any other question. We will be happy to help.
Have a nice day. Regards.
