What Causes Prolonged Cold Feeling In Whole Body?
I have been feeling very cold for some time (2 or 3 weeks), I am 41 yrs female (10.5st, 5ft 9). I have had a bit of a cold on and off recently but have never experienced such coldness (and it is not followed by hot flushes, definitely no temperature 37 yesterday). I am even sitting in a hot office, full blast heating and still feeling cold and shivery if I go outside my door. If I cover myself with warm clothing, I do warm up but it takes a while.

Hello and welcome.
This could have something to do with either poor nutrition or poor blood supply to the peripheries due to either a vascular abnormality or even possibly a cardiac abnormality. But these are all just strong worst-case scenario assumptions, and I would recommend an elaborate evaluation with your doctor so please do so at your earliest convenience.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.

Hi,
When female with cold intolerance comes to me,with no. Other significant complaint like,fever,body ache,cough,
I usually suspect hypothyroidism,common in. Females,
Is it associated with weight gain,
Puffiness of face?
Neck swelling?
Your physical examination and
Some investigation like,
T3,t4 tsh levels,CBC,
Needs to be done,
So I recommend you to visit an physician and get your symptoms evaluated.
