Cold Hands = Bad circulation?

[Rip the Jacker]

Why the fvck is it whenever I'm inside my whole body is warm except my hands...?

 

[PeteRoy]

cause ur whole body has clothes and ur hands are NAKED

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

Yes, to a point. Are your feet cold as well?

1. You need to turn the heat up. I had to start turning it to 80f to get the apartment to be 70f. Bloody stupid heating unit
2. Bad circulation
3. You're not eating enough are are in "starvation mode". A common sign is cold hands or feet
4. When you're walking around, you'll be warmer due to circulation/movement. Having poor circulation or insufficient heating in the apt. will be noticable one you stop moving and you start feeling the effects of ambient temps when not moving.

[Powermoloch]

Mostly bad circulation (i.e. pressure, prolonging in one position, etc)

Are you drinking lots of espressos?

 

[TallBill]

My hands and feet have horrible circulation and get cold and numb extremely fast.

 

[thelanx]

Is there any way to alleviate this? This isn't a periodic thing, my hands and feet almost always get cold really fast and take a while to warm up.

It must suck to have bad circulation.

 

[toekramp]

run a mile in the cold? i think my hands would be FROZEN if I did that.

I would say turn the heat up in the house and be done with it.

I always have cold feet. i have to have socks and slippers on and that does not help. Last night before bed i soaked my feet in a really hot bath. Sometimes its so bad they hurt.

my hands are fine though heh

I went skating last night - biggest rentals were 13, too small for me but I wore them anyway - too tight around my foot, but because they were small I couldn't tighten them over my ankles well enough - anyway, after 3 hours on the ice I took my skates off, and my toes felt like ice to the touch. I was a little worried, because they'd been numb for at lest an hour and a half before then, but with a little warmth feeling and heat returned.

 

[saahmed]

yes, mostly it is bad circulation.

My hands are almost always cold. It's a combination for me of low BP and low food intake. I tend not to eat a whole lot (I eat when I'm hungry and stop eating when I'm full) and despite eating some very high-calorie foods I don't eat in sufficient quantities to have a bunch of excess caloric intake to burn off through heat.

Hands are typically cold also because of high surface area and fairly low insulation. They're basically radiators from my point of view.

Wear gloves. I don't get how people walk around in gloves at any temperature below freezing!

 

[Raiden256]

My fingernails are usually way cyanotic. It's disturbing to people when they notice it. Hands aren't numb, just usually very cold.

 

[bonkers325]

your hands will be cold if your keyboard/mouse is above chest height (cause of poor circulation)

let gravity help your bloodflow

How old are you, if you're a teenager it possible that it is just your age. I get the same problem and the only way to fix it is to wear waaaaayyy more clothes than I normally would.

FYI: I am 17
