Maybe you’re one of those people who easily get cold. Or have you wondered why you always feel cold, even if you aren’t sick, or there’s no A/C on? It could be that you just easily get cold, or it could also signal a medical issue. Parade lists some possible reasons:
Usually, feeling cold often isn’t a major reason to worry, but you should still bring it up with your doctor if it persists or seems to come out of nowhere, says Philip Junglas, a primary care physician at the Cleveland Clinic. “After evaluation, I can usually tell most patients the cold, chilly feeling is annoying but not a marker of life-threatening concerns,” he says.
The body’s usual temperature is about 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, but it can lower with age. And a number of factors can make you feel cold even if your body temperature is normal, Junglas says.
Women also tend to feel colder than men. That’s because women often have a lower metabolic rate, which means they burn fewer calories at rest and don’t generate as much heat. If you’re prone to feeling chilly most of the time, here are 10 possible reasons why.
