Cold Hands and Feet? Think Thyroid or Circulation

By Dr. Shruthi Thennati | Kayakalpa Clinic, Vadodara

Do your hands and feet often feel cold, even when the weather isn’t chilly? 🧊

It’s easy to brush it off as “poor blood flow” or just wear thicker socks. But sometimes, your body is signaling something deeper — and it shouldn’t be ignored.

❄️ Why Do Hands and Feet Feel Cold?

The most common causes include:

🔹 Poor Circulation

If your blood vessels aren’t delivering enough warm blood to your extremities, your hands and feet stay cold. This can happen with:

  • Low blood pressure
  • Heart conditions
  • Peripheral artery disease (PAD)
  • Sedentary lifestyle

🔹 Thyroid Dysfunction

One of the most overlooked reasons for cold extremities is an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism).

When your thyroid slows down:

  • Your metabolism drops
  • Less heat is produced
  • Your body struggles to regulate temperature

Result? Cold hands and feet all the time.

Other Signs to Watch For

If your cold hands and feet come with these symptoms, don’t ignore them:

  • Persistent fatigue or low energy
  • Weight gain despite no big diet changes
  • Dry, flaky skin
  • Hair thinning or hair loss
  • Mood changes, brain fog, or low concentration

These clues often point to a thyroid problem — not just circulation.

When to See a Doctor

Don’t just keep piling on socks or gloves. If cold extremities are frequent or come with the above symptoms, it’s time to get checked.

Your doctor may recommend:

  • Thyroid function tests (T3, T4, TSH)
  • Blood circulation assessments
  • Blood sugar and cholesterol checks (since diabetes and metabolic issues can also affect circulation)

Early detection means simpler management and fewer complications.
