Cold intolerance

Cold intolerance is an abnormal sensitivity to a cold environment or cold temperatures.

Considerations
Cold intolerance can be a symptom of a problem with metabolism.

Some people (often very thin women) do not tolerate cold environments because they have very little body fat and are unable to keep warm.

Causes
Anemia
Anorexia nervosa
Blood vessel (vascular) problems, such as Raynaud’s phenomenon
Chronic severe illness
General poor health
Hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid)
Problem with the hypothalamus (a part of the brain that controls many body functions, including body temperature)

The point is, it was NOT cold out.

She is on a blood thinner (Coumadin) and thyroid medication. That was in her physician’s medical report.
