Explain the cause of cold feet?

Some various causes: With cold feet, we usually think of circulation as being a problem. But in most case i've seen that is not the case. If you have any swelling in your feet and ankles, this can cause your feet to be cold as well. If your feet sweat a lot this can also make your feet feel cold.

Usually the: circulation is compromised. It can be small vessels or large vessels. small vessels go into a spasm and this is called raynauds. Larger vessels if occluded may need a stent or a bypass. (Large vessel disease is more serious.)
