My hands and feet are always cold even in hot weather conditions - though I don't feel cold. Why is that?
Jan 16, 2014

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
Although the cause of cold hands and feet can be as simple as being in a cold environment or your body's natural response to maintain its normal temperature, if you have ongoing problems with cold extremities , there could be a number of causes. Having cold hands could signal a problem with your blood circulation or the blood vessels in your hands.

Common Causes of cold extremities include:
Anemia
Thyroid problems
Buerger's disease
Diabetes
Frostbite
Lupus
Raynaud's disease
Scleroderma

Make an appointment to see your doctor if you're concerned about persistently cold hands. Your doctor can check if your cold hands are caused by a problem with your blood circulation or nerves. Treatment is aimed at the underlying cause of your cold hands.
