Cold extremities : For 23 year old male with constant cold extremities, the poor circulation is certainly a concern. Please see your doctor and get blood tests for thyroid, anemia and some connective tissue disease like lupus. Also your doctor has to examine for raynaud's or buerger's disease. Stop smoking. For time being you should wear the double layers of clothes. Stay in warm environment at work and home.
