I feel unusually cold even in the hot summer. Could this be a problem, and what should I check or do?
If you feel unusually cold even when the weather is hot, it could be a sign of an underlying health issue. Some common causes are low haemoglobin (anaemia), thyroid problems (especially low thyroid), poor nutrition, low body weight, or sometimes circulation problems. You might also feel this way if your body is weak or you are recovering from an illness. To find out the cause, it?s a good idea to get a basic check-up. Your doctor may recommend blood tests for haemoglobin, thyroid levels, or other general health checks if needed after seeing you. This way, you can find the exact reason instead of guessing. While you wait, take care of yourself by eating a balanced diet rich in iron, such as green vegetables, dates, and lentils, and by drinking plenty of water. Keep yourself warm if you need to, and try to get enough sleep. If you also notice tiredness, hair loss, changes in weight, or dizziness, make sure to inform a doctor soon so you can get the right treatment.
