  5. I've noticed that whenever I'm near an AC or when the weather gets cold, my hands and feet turn icy really fast. They get so chilly that other people comment on how cold they feel when I touch them. But when the weather is normal and there's no AC, everything seems fine. I'm curious about what could be causing this.

While in the vicinity of AC or cold weather, your hands and feet getting cold quickly could be due to a condition called Raynaud's disease. Raynaud's disease is a condition that causes some areas of the body, such as fingers and toes, to feel numb and cold in response to cold temperatures or stress. In such cases, it is recommended to keep your hands and feet warm by wearing gloves and socks, and avoiding exposure to cold temperatures. In severe cases, medications like nifedipine or amlodipine can be prescribed to help dilate blood vessels and improve circulation.
