Does anyone else experience a cold sensation on their head? It's happened to me before, but it's so unsettling.

    I have the same issue. The top of my head gets cold and I have to sleep with a hat. If I put my hand on my head it feels better. I also have these feelings in my arms and legs. Has anyone come up with a cause for you?

    yes, i get this all the time now, especially on the right hand side of my scalp. I wonder does to relate to hair loss? i started feeling cold ever since i noticed that my hair was thinning i am a woman but have recently experienced thinning due to the menopause. However no one who suffers from hair loss seems to be complaining about this and i mentioned it to my dermatologist and he didnt seem to have an answer. I am beginning to think that it does either have to do with anxiety or a lack blood flow to the area or both. Do any of you experience hair loss together with this cold feeling symptom?

      I have just started menopause and have been having the same issue with the cold sensation on the top of my headache. I was thinking that is what may be causing it.

    Now I don't know this for sure, but when you feel anxious, your blood vessels constrict forcing blood to your organs ready for fight, the top the head could be considered an extremity?, like the feet/hands/tip of nose etc, all places that can be cold especially when anxious?
