Suggest Remedies Extreme Sensitivity To Cold In A Person With Hypothyroidism

I have hypothyroidism and my dosages have changed nearly every three months. I am always extremely cold. I am a teacher and I must go outside with my students when it is 20 degrees and the wind is blowing. I wear a down coat, hat, gloves, and scarf and I am still freezing... I stay cold the entire day. What should I do?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Cold intolerance is a typical feature of hypothyroidism.
You have to step up the dose it thyroxine.
Consult an endocrinologist and he will direct you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
