Do any of you suffer from very cold hands and feet or is it just me. Or is it norm for the likes of us.

[Spacecat1]

Our daughter has this problem gp diagnosed reynaurds. She has learnt to live with it.( runs inthe family). Or it could be that the temperature has dropped so we are bound to be cold.but if it is continual have it check with gp.

[Pokermon in reply to Spacecat1]

Thanks have had it since becoming ill so dew years now.

[Spacecat1 in reply to Pokermon]

Get it checked.our daughter is used to sometimes gets cold hands in the summer. Dosent worry her. But if worried speak to your gp to mind at rest.

[CDPO16]

I have cold hands and feet but have had all my life. My mum was the same.

[sassy59]

Pete has cold feet often but not hands. Xxx

[Dids49]

I have frozen cold feet that spread part way up my legs. Then before I know it my feet have started to go burning hot and bright read. GP doesn't have much to say but they are not his feet!!!

[skischool]

Poor blood circulation can play a big part in cold hands and feet,although i am not diagnosed with such i have permanently cold hands and feet,i blame a lot of it on not being acvtive enough due to my severe lung condition but you must try to make a consious effort,even with mobilty issues to keep moving Pokermon and i am sure it will help your problem.

[watergazer]

I have cold hands and feet most of the time pokermon and I think mine is due to poor circulation . I try to keep moving and not sit around too much. Take care x

[Bakery40]

Hi , oh yes . My hands and feet are cold most of the time even in the summer. They can be sweating when is 30 degrees but still cold. Now in autumn/winter , freezing. Sleeping in thermal socks . I put it down to poor circulation .I have plenty of medical problems , I wish this would be my biggest problem 🙂. It's annoying but....

Keep safe and all the best.

🙂

[Bronchi1]

Yes! I wear bed socks! The tip of one finger goes white too!

[leo60 in reply to Bronchi1]

The middle finger of my right hand goes white, and my mother had exactly the same!! xx

[1968 in reply to leo60]

Exactly the same.e as mine, how strange.

[Lfcpremier]

Hello. Athlough only diagnosed with Bronchiectasis 9 yrs ago have suffered with cold hands & feet for as long as I remember & I am quite active. 🤔X

[Shapphire]

Have suffered all my life with cold hands and feet&, poor circulation. My father and sons also. Can make great pastry with cold hands.

[Aingeful]

Cold feet always! I wear thick socks and bed socks now. Probably circulation problems as said above.

[Ergendl]

Yes, I have primary Raynauds, not caused by anything else. I dress warmly in lots of layers and make sure my hands, feet and head are covered with wool, leather or cotton gloves, socks, hats and scarves to try to prevent attacks.

[Croydonia]

Yes, always cold feet and hands! I haven’t bothered to ask about it though, as I’m being treated for enough other conditions, without worrying about another one!

[Mrbojangles]

Same here but mainly feet and that’s why both my dog and cat get upgraded from November onwards and get the bottom of the bed.On a serious note please keep your circulation going with foot rotation exercises... it does help.

Keep safe ..!

[HighGables]

Cold hands and especially feet. Think its a circulation problem due in part to inactivity. Bed socks a must 😀

[ninelives in reply to HighGables]

Mmm love cosy bedsocks!

[skipwork]

Yes, I get cold hands and feet. I am 83. A common problem. Accentuated by illnesses.

[mikeadams51]

I’ve always had cold feet and hands long before being diagnosed with COPD and Alpha1. Not sure it’s part of having dodgy lungs but probably down to slow circulation as up to about 10 years I’ve always had a low pulse rate as low as 64 most of the time.

[leo60]

I have always had cold hands and feet, actually have always felt the cold badly. I put it down to being too exotic for this country!! xx

[Pokermon in reply to leo60]

Like that answer

[leo60 in reply to Pokermon]

My mum was born and brought up in Trinidad and half her family came from Corsica, so she always said that we were never meant for such a cold climate !! xx

[Jandm]

I’ve just started having problems with my fingers getting cold and sore when the temperature drops....predominately my index fingers...very strange

[Eastend555]

yeah i have had cold hands and feet all my life i dont think its anything to worry about

[Greenfingers20]

I do! I've been getting white fingers this past week🙁 Even with gloves on-driving is worst. Then chilblains when I'm indoors. If anyone has any tips I'd be grateful.

[Thepainterswife]

I’m a carer for my husband , I always say I’m very fit and healthy but I do suffer terribly from cold feet once the temperature drops I’m very active always working hard in the garden or walking dogs and it’s when I stop and relax when they are really bad so I’m guessing it’s poor circulation . ( Dr wasn’t interested) It only started to be a real problem when I was in my late fifties so must also be age related . I wear thermal socks ( that don’t always do much Tbh) and I have an electric foot warmer which I use whilst relaxing which is really good . My husband has emphysema and never suffers with cold hands or feet .

[Maureenpearl]

I have Lupus which has damaged my lungs (Pulmonary Fibrosis), the lupus also caused Raynaud's disease which causes my hands to get very cold, my fingers would turn blue.

The raynauds would kick in if I get excited, anxious or just cold. I used to wear two pairs of gloves when it was very cold and use hand warmers.

The treatment I have for the lupus (inflammation) has really helped and for the last two or more years I can actually go into the freezer without putting gloves on my hands.

There are treatment specifically for this disease so don't leave it too long to get help, I had it from my teen to getting help in my sixties.

[micox]

I have a right hand that often goes stone cold. Only started to do this about 7 years ago.

[santisuk]

I guess the people who do not have that problem are not responding. I have had bronchiectasis for 5 years but don't have cold extremeties. I am however a relatively mild sufferer and quite active at 69.

[ninelives]

Yep both cold hands and feet -weirdly when about to get very unwell my nose is also cold!

[Dermatray15]

I suffer with cold hands and feet. I have been diagnosed with Raynaud’s disease. I take medication to help with my circulation. I take Nifedipine and Sildenafil. I use hand warmers and I wear gloves and socks.

[younginmind]

Only cold feet - wear socks in bed then sleep well - although often wake up very hot - perhaps it's something to do with being a post-menstrual female?

[Izb1]

I have noticed in the last 12 months I have developed really cold feet and have to resort to wearing bed socks as i get bad cramp if my feet get too cold. Now the weather has changed I am taking a hot water bottle as well ha! I have always been too hot so this comes as a shock because that hasnt changed. I dont know if its age or my condition, if you find a cure please let me know x

[lmacca4]

My feet are always cold even though i wear socks most f the day until i go to bed. It then takes a good 30 minutes for my feet to warm up. It seems to be getting worse. I have COPD.

[Bronchi1]

Well! Looks like there might be a PhD in this for someone! The frigid extremities of respiratory patients!
