My heart rate increases when i'm cold and decreases when i'm warm, which is apparently the opposite of what should happen. what's causing this?

Heart Rate: Shivering is a well-known response, but a less obvious reaction is heart rate increase. In cold weather, a faster heartbeat benefits muscular and respiratory function. That's why your heart rate is increasing.
