Cold Sensation

[aloe]

What would cause a feeling of internal coldness stemming from the head to the upper chest area; excluding extremities, and skin is warm to the touch?  It feels like I have brain freeze without having to drink anything cold.

After 5 months,  alot of blood work, and hard work by my doctor the only thing that has turned up is an active thyroid. Hypothyroidism is what we "think" is the concern. It has been checked 3 times, and twice it was off. My doctor proscribed some medicine(Levothyroxine, lowest dose possible for now- .25 or 25) for 2 months. In 6 weeks we'll do blood work again and see if I still have the inner cold feeling.

Hi,

It is difficult to give a straightforward answer without knowing your entire medical history like since when do you have this symptom and clinical exam.

Hormonal problems like thyroid dysfunction can cause cold sensations. Another possibility is peripheral neuropathy.

This requires further evaluation. Please schedule an appointment with a neurologist.

I have internal coldness also, more so in my legs, but my whole body is affected. The way you described the coldness sounds like my coldness. Have you found out anything useful?
