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

746 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.)

Typically no, your body should be able to adjust and maintain its own core body temperature, even in cold temperatures.

The only possible thing is that you have some underlying circulation or metabolism issue that makes it harder for your body to regulate its own temperature.

If this is something that is really concerning to you I’d recommend 1, start taking your temperature whenever you feel cold to see if you’re actually below 97-98 degrees, or if you just feel cold.

and 2, mention it to your doctor.
