I am a 74 years old woman. I spend parts of my day sitting down. The dwelling is warm 20-22C but I am cold. I am cold all over, not just the hands and feet. I have mentioned this to my GP but the was no response. I have never mention it again. I have some major health issues; under active thyroid, chronic sinusitis, heart disease and lymphodema tarda. The mentioned maladies are controlled by medications.

Have anybody experienced being cold when passive. How can I keep warm? All ideas welcome.

    Hi. Go back to the doctor and if you get no change again make an appointment with the Practice Manager.

    Let me know how you get on

    God Bless

    a friend of mine has an underactive thyroid as well and she is always cold also has cold hands to the touch too!! Go back to your GPs surgery and I'd ask for an appointment with another Dr and see what's said, good luck and keep us posted.
