Anxiety: Anxiety or worry is a psychological & physiological state characterized by somatic, cognitive, emotional & behavioral features. It signifies fear/concern/unpleasant sensations/ dread. It causes restlessness, fatigue, muscle tension & concentration difficulties. It is considered a normal reaction to a stressor, unless it interferes with daily functioning or causes significant distress, as in panic.

See doctor: Anxiety can take many forms but I have not heard about coldness of extremities . I would see your doctor to determine what is causing this symptom.

Circulatory Problem: At the age of 50, your heart is likely weaker than the rest of those who're younger, in which case it might have difficulty getting sufficient warm blood to all your extremities. Furthermore the amount of cholesterol build up in your vessels over time may also make circulation tough and so it's time to see your doctor and get a check up.
