What my be the cause for one becoming cold extremely fast and occasionally experiencing numbness when exposed to cold weather conditions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several reasons : However the most common is just physiologic, as not all individuals tolerate cold equally, but no one adapts completely to cold as happens in the other extreme. Low blood sugar, low thyroid hormone, underweight, etc can all be potential causes, kindly see your doctor for evaluation if suffering, wish you wellness
