cold/hot hands
16 Answers
Is it normal to find it hard to keep your hands at a nice temperature?
Mine almsot always sem to be freezing cold or dripping with sweat.
People always comment on them, normally to say 'oh gosh your hands are freezing.' Or I find myself rubbing my hands on my jeans to get the sweat off it I have to do a handshake etc.
I think i have low blood pressure, could that be a reason behind it? Well for the coldness at least?

Oh boy, it looked yuck! The physiotherapist diagnosed the condition immediately. You don't have to have it in all the above mentioned body areas, just one or more ....
