Cold skin in 90 degree weather

Ok here's a new one.  For the past month I have been dealing with some health issues.  Mainly dealing with yellow stool etc.  

Dr. says your overweight, put me on bp medicine (metoprolol twice a day 25mg) and to start exercising.

Now I go outside to exercise, or even if I exercise on a treadmill in air conditioning, I noticed my arms get ice cold, I guess legs too.  So when I sweat it's cold and clammy.

Have had ekg, cardio stress test, and lots of bloodwork, everything coming up normal.

any suggestions?  i thank you for your time, you are appreciated.

I never got cold until I went on a beta blocker, Coreg.  Now I have to wear socks to bed in the winter and keep a sweater handy all the time.  Just a side effect.

Hey. You might want to Google;  Raynaud's Disease.
  Raynaud's disease (RAY-noz) is a vascular disorder[1] that affects blood flow to the extremities which include the fingers, toes, nose and ears when exposed to temperature changes or stress

  Just a thought.... I believe it can be primary, or secondary ( results from other issues - as in possible side effect of Beta Blocker).
  Hope this helps
