What Could Causes A Feeling Of Cold Quite Often?

I am a 52 year old female. I have trivial mitral regurgitation, a pfo with small aneurysm (in the heart), asthma, restrictive lung disease, numerous allergies (food and environmental), possible ulcerative colitis. I feel cold all the time, and sometimes my temperature feels okay and then all of a sudden I start feeling like its dropping. Could this be from my poor health? The "feeling cold" problem has been there since childhood, but seems worse now at this age.

I had gone through your question.
You should not be worried.

First I would like to ensure that it is not a big problem at all.

With such presentation we usually rule out Thyroid problem by a thyroid function test(TSH Screening and if found abnormal then Free T4 and FT3).

If it is found normal .we proceed next to next possibilities.

With respect your age...Menstrual history is very imporatant.This aggravation of symptom may be due to Perimenopausal symptom which is easily curable by SSRI group of drug.

As it is a prescription medicine I would request you to meet local doctor to confirm diagnosis.
Thank you.
