When Your Hands and Feet Are Cold but Your Face Is Flushed
의료 감수 Dr. Heo Ji-young Representative Director · KMD
Cold hands and feet, a flushed face, a stuffy upper body — that feeling of the top and bottom working separately may be a sign that circulation has split apart.
When heat rises upward and circulation cannot descend well, the upper body becomes hot while the hands and feet stay cold. This appears not only in menopause but also frequently with stress and autonomic imbalance.
- The face and chest feel hot, the hands and feet feel cold
- It gets worse when you are tense
I see this as a state where the "up-and-down balance of circulation" has broken, and I approach it in the direction of bringing down the heat that has floated upward and reviving the circulation below.
