What Causes Chills And Numbness In The Fingers?

i have been getting so cold lately when it is not really that cold outside. my fingers get numb and sometimes I shake uncontrollably. my thumb got really blue today when I got cold and it was 73 degrees outside. When I got back home and took my temperature it was 96.7 My fingers get numb without the outdoor temperature being cold.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It may be due to cold induced injury seen in reynauds phenomenon or it may be due to nerve compression at wrist. Common causes like carpal tunnel syndrome or medial nerve compression or peripheral neuropathy or leprosy with nerve infiltration etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Avoid pressure on the hand , use tablet pregabalin 75 mg once daily for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
