Why Do I Feel Cold in the Middle of Summer?

Hypothyroidism may lead to feeling cold even in summer. In addition to hypothyroidism, yang deficiency constitution and environmental factors can also cause the body to feel cold.

During summer, people usually feel very hot. However, if they feel cold, the first thing to consider is whether it is caused by any diseases? For example, hypothyroidism and some other physical illnesses can also lead to feeling cold.

2. If there are no diseases, we should consider whether it is due to yang deficiency constitution. People with yang deficiency constitution tend to be afraid of cold, have cold hands and feet, lack energy, and prefer to eat hot food. They usually feel cold all year round.

3. Environmental factors should also be taken into account. Working or living in a cold and chilly environment, or staying in an air-conditioned room for a long time, can cause the body to feel cold.

Hypothyroidism, also known as hypothyroidism, is a systemic hypometabolic syndrome caused by insufficient production of thyroid hormones or weakened effects of thyroid hormones due to various reasons.

Hypothyroidism is more common in women (the prevalence rate in women is approximately 10 times higher than in men), elderly people over 60 years of age, and individuals with a family history or a history of autoimmune diseases. The prevalence rate varies depending on diagnostic criteria, age, gender, race, and regional iodine content.

A number of studies have suggested that the prevalence of hypothyroidism in China has increased in recent years, which may be related to changes in lifestyle and the increasing availability and simplicity of screening methods, leading to more people undergoing routine physical examinations.
