10 Causes of Cold Feet
Cause Of Cold Feet #7: Raynaud Syndrome
Raynaud syndrome, also known as Raynaud’s phenomenon, is a condition in which arteries can spasm. This leads to a reduction in blood flow and this, in turn, can cause the feet to turn cold. It can also sometimes affect the ears, lips, and nose and the affected area is also likely to turn blue and/or white.
When the blood flow returns to normal, patients will typically turn red and the patient will feel a burning sensation. The causes are often not known, but cold weather and/or emotional stress are often contributing factors. Around 4% of the population has the condition, and severe cases can lead to gangrene and skin sores.
