Specializes in Neurology

Metabolic: Not sure when this started or why your appetite has changed. Bloodwork a good idea to rule out hypoglycemia.

Low blood sugar: Feeling cold and shaking can be signs of low blood sugar; the body responds to low blood sugar by releasing adrenaline, that causes shaking and constriction of blood vessels in the limbs.
