This is Dr.Lam, founder of DrLam.com. In this video, we will talk about the reasons why people can feel cold.
Now, one of the most common reasons that the temperature of the body lowers, which leads to cold hand and feet, when everybody else is warm, is the low thyroid function. Now remember thyroid is the organ that controls the basic metabolism of the body. So if thyroid function goes down, or slows, then the body will feel colder than normal. And this is very common and is a classic sign of hypothyroidism along with dry skin and fatigue.
Now, you can also get cold hands and feet from other problems as well, including some autoimmune conditions as well as some other type of situations. Now if you do feel like you have cold hands and feet when everybody else is normal, and it's beyond what you feel is normal occurence, then you should see your doctor to get it checked out. Now if your thyroid is normal, or if you are already on thyroid medication but you still feel cold hands and feet, then you have ask why.
1 of the reasons is because your body's ability to take in thyroid may be compromised. Number 2, the thyroid dosage may not be sufficient. Number 3, you have things that are blocking the entry of thyroid replacement into your cells, causing the body to not get the metabolic step up that it's supposed to be.
Now there is also another situation which can cause cold hand and feet. It's that when your thyroid is perfectly normal, but you have symptoms of hypothyroidism. And the symptoms of hypothyroidism includes as we said earlier, cold hands and feet because the body is being driven to slow down under the control of adrenal glands.
In other words, if you're in adrenal fatigue, the body tries to slow down and when the thyroid slows down, then you will have symptoms of subclinical hypothyroidism. In another words, you may not be hypothyroid in laboratory tests, but symptoms wise you feel like you are hypothyroid and cold hands and feet is one of them.
So if you do feel like you have cold hands and feet, your thyroid test is normal, and your doctor says there is nothing wrong with you, then you have to think whether adrenal fatigue is part of the reasons or not. Are you under a lot of stress? Are you under a lot of strenuous pressure at work or at home or relationship issues you cannot deal with? Do you have this problem for a long time? Do you have hormonal imbalances in your menstrual cycle if you're a woman? Do you have libido that is low in both sexes? These are all signs that you also look for along with a low body temperature as well as cold hands and feet.
In fact one of the very interesting thing is that if you have low thyroid function because of adrenal driven events, then even if you put in thyroid medication meaning replacement, like T4, T3, or combination, you will continue to feel cold because the body continues to slow down despite your best efforts. So if you feel cold in your hands and feet for no apparent reason, if this continues despite thyroid replacement. If there are no other possible structural issues that can cause this problem, then do think of adrenal fatigue as a possible symptom etiology.
