Poor Blood Circulation
Sometimes, we may experience cold feet in summer due to poor blood circulation. It can also be caused by peripheral artery disease or sitting for too long.
Hypothyroidism
In hypothyroidism, our metabolism becomes slow, which also affects the heat production in the body and makes the feet cold, even in summer.
Anaemia
Anaemia, a blood disorder, also causes cold feet in summer due to less production of healthy red blood cells, which can also cause fatigue and weakness.
Anxiety
Anxiety keeps our body in a ‘fight or flight’ mode, which can redirect the blood flow to vital organs, making the feet cold.
Neurological Conditions
If nerves get damaged, such as in peripheral neuropathy, it can also cause our feet to feel cold even if they are physically warm to touch.
Diabetes
People with diabetes also experience cold feet because, over time, the nerves and blood vessels get damaged causing a feeling of cold feet.
