Being cold sensitive means that a person is more sensitive or susceptible to the effects of cold temperatures than the average person. Some people may be naturally more cold-sensitive due to factors such as their body type, metabolism, or medical conditions.
Symptoms of cold sensitivity can include feeling uncomfortably cold or chilled, shivering, numbness or tingling in the extremities, and skin discoloration (such as turning blue or white). Cold sensitivity can also exacerbate symptoms of certain medical conditions such as Raynaud's disease, hypothyroidism, or peripheral artery disease.
Treatment for cold sensitivity may include measures such as wearing warm clothing, using hand and foot warmers, avoiding exposure to cold temperatures, and staying physically active to improve circulation. In some cases, medications or supplements such as thyroid hormone replacement therapy may be prescribed to help manage underlying medical conditions contributing to cold sensitivity.
