Question 1

cold hands and feet?

Accepted Answer

Nervous?: I used to get cold hands before asking a girl out on a date - but in a more serious note, there are a number of reasons you may suffer from cold extremities: it could be due to a low thyroid level, smoking, diabetes, circulation issues like in Raynaud’s phenomenon, even certain medications.  I recommend seeing a Dr for a full history and physical if you want to determine the cause!

Question 2

why do i have cold hands and feet indoors?

Accepted Answer

Cold feet and hands: Pernio is caused by exposure to cold for a long period of time without freezing or by very wet conditions. 
Raynauds syndrome is an abnormal narrowing of the blood vessels with cooling of the fingers or toes. Cryoglobulins are proteins, which are normally dissolved in the blood, that become solids or gels when cold. These are some causes of cold hands and feet.

Question 4

what causes you to have cold hands and feet all the time?

Accepted Answer
