for the past week i’ve started to get cold areas on parts of my body . my finger tips go ice cold but don’t change colour , they return warm after an hour or so and this happens daily . i also have cold thighs , top of my chest and arms and cheeks which are cold for about an hour then return to normal temperature . my hands and feet are also sweating constantly . i’ve got pressure in my head which i think is coming from my sinus because i’m all blocked up at the top of my nose when i sniff .

    I wonder if it could be due to the thyroid not funcitioning properly, either under or over-active.  There is a blood test for this. 

    I had an underactive thyroid.  I was very cold a lot of the time.  The first step to putting this right is to have a hormone tablet daily.
