Anyone constantlly cold?

Anyone ever just feel constantly cold?  Like your skin cant feel the warmth of your body.  I do warm up in sunlight/heat etc but a breeze will feel chilling and clothing feels cool against my skin. This has been going on for 8 months and started right after I had a procedure to cure my Tachycardia. I have been to 2 internists, 2 neurologist and 2 cardiologists, had numerous tests and I have stumped them all. Most suggest Anxiety and want me to see a Psychologist.  Im convinced it's something serious and can't shake this feeling.  How can I make myself feel constantly cold?  My thighs also sting when it's cold out, like my pants are freezing to my leg (hate that feeling cause I work outside).  Also, when I do get hot on a real hot day, I sweat profusely everywhere!  I have never been a sweaty person.  Anyone else have these or other symptoms that just wont go away?  My wife says to just ignore them but It's like trying to Jog with a broken foot..Just cant do it. I'm worried sick. Strange thing is, im on Zoloft and other than constant coldness, I feel great, which makes me suspicious of it being just anxiety.

No idea. I always assumed so. I do sweat big time too. But would still wear what I wear. I think it might be me just been protective in a sense. Come the long run I got so used to wearing so much that going without now makes me feel colder. Summer I would wrap up. Is a problem there somewhere.

Is it anxiety or your disposition?

I'm always asked why I wear so many clothes. Feel the cold a lot more than most people. Only 40 at that. I know Ireland is not the hottest country in the world. But even when we get sun I can still feel a chill and never go round in t-shirts and the likes. Just the person I am. Johnny 40 coats as they call me. LOL.

How old are you?  My grandmother always complained of being cold and she lived in a warm part of the country.  If your docs have ruled out cardiovascular issues then it could be anxiety I guess.  I know circulation issues in the elderly can make them feel cold all of the time.
