Why do my legs feel cold and my feet sweat while sleeping at night?
Disease description:
Every year, as winter approaches, I often feel cold in my hands and feet while sleeping at night. My legs feel cold, my feet sweat, and it’s difficult to warm up even after getting into bed. Could you please explain what might be causing this?

Hello, cold and sweaty feet may be caused by kidney yin deficiency and are also related to one’s constitutional makeup. Excessive recent stress, overwork, or unregulated sexual activity—leading to qi and blood deficiency—can also trigger this symptom. We recommend ensuring adequate rest in daily life, avoiding overexertion, and engaging regularly in physical exercise to strengthen your constitution and improve systemic circulation, which can help alleviate kidney yin deficiency. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
