Cold
Hands and Feet |
 |
 |
| Most of us know what it feels like for our hands and feet to
occasionally feel cold especially in the winter months. But
what about those people who get cold hands and feet during
the summer on a perfectly warm day? Why would
someone's hand turn blue and feel cold when the rest of us
are in shorts and a t-shirt trying to cool off from the
warmth of the sun? Most often the person has a circulation
problem to the extremities. Poor circulation to your finger
tips and toes could be caused by a physical injury that has
impaired the blood vessels and capillaries. Other obvious
reasons for your hands and feet feeling cold could be from a
condition called frostbite where the cells actually freeze
and tissue is damaged.
Less obvious reasons for getting cold hands and feet
could be from:
- Poor circulation due to a more severe medical
condition (hardening of the arteries, possibly a heart
condition)
- Side-effects from taking certain pharmaceutical
medications
- Raynaud's Syndrome in your
Hands and
Feet
- Dehydration (water in the cells helps to insulate
against the cold)
- Iron Deficiency (more common in women - especially
during menstruation)
- Smoking (affects the flow of blood to the tiny blood
vessels of the skin - more common in women)
- Stress (stress can trigger an automatic response for the
body to conserve energy and direct blood flow to the
important internal organs first).
