Hashimoto's Thyroiditis Symptoms
7. Increased Sensitivity to Cold
Different people are able to handle the cold to different degrees, no pun intended. Some people will insist on having to stay indoors where it is warm and cozy, whereas some people might even find the cold more comfortable to be in than warmer weather.
Regardless of your sensitivity to cold weather, you may well find that it gets harder for you to bear if you have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. This is because your metabolism will be lower and your body is generating less energy to combat the cold, making you feel colder. In the meantime, wrapping up well can help the patient to feel more comfortable.
