Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Cold Feeling In Lower Body, Sweating, Body Heat In Upper Body. Due To Sleeping Aids?
My father, age 92, is in good shape except for the sensation that he has of cold legs and feet . Oddly, in his upper body he is overheated and sweats profusely even when the temperature is cool. He has been on various sleep aids for over five years and since these are not supposed to be taken over a long duration might they have something to do with his condition?
Your father's symptoms seem like a benign condition, probably a raynaud's phenomena. Please ask him to cover his legs and feet with good stockings. It is not related to the upper body being overheated.

Cold Feeling In Lower Body, Sweating, Body Heat In Upper Body. Due To Sleeping Aids?
Hi, Your father s symptoms seem like a benign condition, probably a raynaud s phenomena. Please ask him to cover his legs and feet with good stockings. It is not related to the upper body being overheated. The sleep aids usually do not cause this. It just needs symptomatic treatment as I mentioned earlier. Otherwise, I feel your dad is doing pretty well. I wish him good health. Regards,
