When the air temperature is low, it is normal for our hands to feel cold. However, if our hands are constantly frozen and we cannot warm them at all, the problem can be poor circulation, but also other diseases.
"There can be many reasons. Doctors recommend first of all to give up bad habits, such as smoking. Start playing sports and listen to the doctor's recommendations. Regularly monitor your blood pressure and cholesterol levels," experts advise, and these are the most common health problems they can show cold hands.
Anemia
If you feel weak, tired, have a headache, and your hands are constantly cold, you may have an iron deficiency in your blood.
Poor functioning of the thyroid gland
Hypothyroidism, or an underactive thyroid gland, slows down the metabolism, which results in cold extremities or a feeling of coldness.
Diabetes
Numbness in the hands and feet and coldness can be the first signs of diabetes. Diabetes leaves consequences on the blood flow, as well as on the nervous system, and that is why it is accompanied by these phenomena.
Stress
When we are under stress, the adrenaline produced in the adrenal glands jumps, it narrows the blood vessels, so the circulation is weaker, and the hands and feet are colder.
Lupus
Another autoimmune disease can be the culprit for cold hands, and that is systemic lupus erythematosus, which causes inflammation of the joints, tendons and other tissues and organs.
A change in the color of the skin of the hands and tingling are a sign that you should definitely visit a doctor.
