Why do I suddenly feel cold?

Many people will encounter this situation in life. While sitting or doing something, they will suddenly feel a cold current passing through their body and suddenly start to feel cold. Many people will wonder if they have a cold or fever at this time, so they take some cold medicine, but the medicine still doesn't work and their body still feels cold occasionally. It seems that the sudden chills are not entirely caused by a cold, there are other reasons. So what causes the body to suddenly feel cold?

1. Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism can also cause the body to feel cold. Because of hypothyroidism, the body's basal metabolic rate decreases, resulting in poor blood circulation in the extremities of the body, which can cause the body to feel cold. People with hypothyroidism may experience better chills after treatment.

2. Very low blood pressure

For people with very low blood pressure, they are more sensitive to temperature. When the temperature is low, their blood circulation will be poor. However, when low blood pressure is controlled, the patient's fear of cold will improve.

3. Wear more clothes

In addition to treating the primary disease, you can also reduce the dissipation of heat generated by the body by wearing more clothes. Thereby relieving the feeling of coldness in the body. We can also exercise, which will generate heat during the exercise. Through exercise, the body's blood circulation will speed up and the blood circulation in the extremities of the body will improve. The feeling of body chills will disappear.

4. Eat some protein-rich foods

We can also improve the feeling of coldness in the body through food. People who feel cold can eat more protein-rich foods, such as beef, lean meat, peanuts, etc. These foods produce a lot of calories.

After eating, it can make our cold feeling disappear. If the chills are caused by anemia, you can also eat more iron-rich foods, such as pig blood, spinach, fungus, etc., to correct the occurrence of anemia through diet therapy.

5. Liver disease and cardiovascular disease

In addition, some liver and cardiovascular diseases can also cause patients to feel cold, which is caused by problems with the liver's metabolic function.

Cardiovascular disease can also cause chills, because when the cardiovascular system is diseased, blood circulation is impaired and peripheral circulation is poor, which can cause the body to feel cold. The chills caused by liver disease and cardiovascular disease can be relieved mainly by wearing more clothes and treating the underlying disease.
