Very cold extremities

Hello

I am male 28 with normal weight.I have this problem of very cold hands and feet in winter compared to my other body parts.These parts are so cold that it gives me pain and some times when i make them warm they become swollen,itchy and reddish.So i am not comfortable in both situations.It only happens to me in winter .I know hands and feet get cold in winter but my problem is severe.

1-Can anyone one please tell me the reason for it ?
2-Whats the solution?

Note: I have slightly low blood pressure but its normal for me.

Thanks

There are a couple of medical conditions that can cause this so you need to have some blood work done to rule these out.  Plus, it may be a circulation problem which involves a simple test.  See your doctor because this isn't normal and you needn't have to suffer like this.  Keep us posted and take care.

If your hands and feet turn blue, it could be a condition called Reynaud's .  If they hurt when cold, it could be a condition called intermittent claudication.  Only a doctor can tell your for sure.
