Feeling Cold

Does anyone feel cold a lot and wear layers of clothing to keep warm. Is this from anxiety?

I’m usually always cold but never related it to anxiety.

Thank you for your answer. What is your being cold related to if you don't mind me asking and how do you keep warm?

Hi Cathy- I’m really not sure why I am always cold- it could be because I am thin and do not have much body fat but I also think I may have poor circulation because my feet and hands get purplish at times. I also have hypothyroidism but take medicine for that. I just love warm/ hot climates and am not comfortable when I’m cold. Love to run the fireplace in the winter and snuggle up in warm clothes and blankets!

Thank you for answering. What was the TCM Natural Health about that you recommended. Do you take any products for them to keep warm?

Not sure what you mean about TCM Natural Health ?

I go for a walk, or do some physical activity, it helps me to warm up, maybe the cold is something to do with not enough sleep!? It's a guess.

That's possible. Physical activity definitely helps. Thank you.

I am always very cold, but never thought about it being related to anxiety.. I always say, "Cold hands, warm heart" :-) I just pile on the layers and get on with my life, haha. (Also, fingerless mittens are great for the office!) Hope you feel better (and warmer!) soon!

I thought you left that information for me about the online TCM Natural Health and thought they might have a product(s) to warm up. You're, it's better to not focus on this. I just don't like a lot of comments I get. Some are helpful though and those comments I like.

Hi Cathy--You may want to ask your health care provider to check your thyroid level.

Not what you're looking for?
