These medical conditions cause extreme cold
If someone feels very cold, his treatment will largely depend on its cause.
Blood vessel problem: If someone suffers from severe cold due to blood vessel disorder and smokes, then quitting smoking will help to a great extent in dealing with this problem.
Thyroid Disorder: If someone keeps feeling cold continuously then it can also be due to thyroid disorder. Mostly this condition occurs due to hypothyroidism. This means that not enough hormones are being released from the thyroid gland. In such a case, it should be treated after consulting a doctor.
Nutrition Deficiency: Some people also feel more cold due to nutritional deficiency. To find out this, you can get a blood test done with the help of a doctor. If the doctor feels that there is a deficiency of any nutrient, he may advise taking supplements or may advise including fruits and vegetables rich in those nutrients in the diet.
Iron and Vitamin B-12 Deficiency: If the cold is bothering you more than the lack of any nutrient, then in most of the cases it is due to Vitamin B-12 deficiency or iron deficiency. In such a situation, the doctor may advise taking vitamin B-12 and iron supplements. Foods that fulfill these needs can be included in the diet.
Diabetes: If someone has diabetes then he also suffers from cold more than others. In such a situation, doctors can give medicines to control blood sugar level and manage complications like kidney damage.
