Is repeated exposure to a refrigerated room lowering my core temperature?

742 views

I work at Amazon in the foods department, and just about every other day I get sent to the chiller for a few hours. Lately, I’ve noticed that the protective gear isn’t helping anymore, and I’m starting to feel super cold even in room temperature. (I don’t think it’s because of winter, it doesn’t really get cold in this area.)

Likely no.

First of all, you can easily measure your core temperature by using a thermometer. Your body temperature will fluctuate throughout the day so you can take several measurements to confirm.

If you’re constantly feeling super cold, you should consult with a doctor. It’s not likely to be caused by repeated exposure to a refrigerated room, so you’ll want to rule out potential medical concerns. Common causes include anemia and hypothyroidism.

But it could be that there’s nothing wrong and you’re just naturally sensitive to colder temperatures due to your metabolism, etc.
