Dr. Huang Shichang
Possible causes of dizziness and sensitivity to cold may include the following: 1. Common cold or influenza: Common viral infections such as the common cold or flu can cause elevated body temperature, while patients may simultaneously feel cold, accompanied by symptoms like dizziness and fatigue. 2. Low blood pressure: Hypotension may lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain, causing dizziness, and a drop in body temperature may make patients feel cold. 3. Anemia: Insufficient quantity or quality of red blood cells reduces the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity, potentially leading to dizziness; anemic individuals may also experience sensitivity to cold. 4. Hypothyroidism: This condition may slow down metabolism, reducing heat production in the body and causing cold intolerance, possibly accompanied by dizziness. 5. Other factors: Malnutrition, lack of sleep, excessive psychological stress, and similar factors may also contribute to dizziness and cold sensitivity.
