NO MORE COLD HANDS AND FEET
- Cold extremities occur when blood vessels are constricted
or slightly obstructed.
- This
may be due to increased connective tissue tension around the blood
vessels, which causes a reduction in the passage of blood through the
skin.
- The hands or feet may change color, from pink through
purple, orange, and blue even to white.
- As they warm up again, the color changes back again in
reverse order, often accompanied by a feeling of throbbing or buzzing.
What is the cause of cold hands and feet:
- A lot of us have cold hands or feet and simply put up with
it.
- For
some people it can be a serious problem - especially if they get very
cold. Some people wear mittens and heavy socks all year round, even in
warm weather, indoors and out.
A number of things cause this, such as:
- Poor circulation due to coronary heart disease
- Raynaud’s
disease ( Some people's blood vessels are hypersensitive to cold and
tend to go into spasm, may be the result of overactive blood vessels,
disorders of the connective tissue or emotional upsets, disorder that
affects the flow of blood to the fingers and sometimes to the toes.
This is most common in young women. The fingertips, then the fingers
and even the whole hand become cold and go white. They go numb and have
difficulty doing fine movements. Sometimes the feet are also affected.
In the most extreme of circumstances where for some reason the blood
supply to an area is restricted for a prolonged period of time frost
bite or gangrene can occur. )
