Why is my nose...

Nose and eyes running can be due to cold, but can also be an allergic reaction to something.

I never have cold feet, perhaps because I am usually barefooted in my own home. Everyone else in the family suffers from cold feet, so try a foot-muff, a sheepskin bag, woolly side in, that you slip your feet into when sitting in the evening.

In Greenland the cure for chilblains is to rub a little of your own pee onto them. It cures the itch and helps the swelling go done, so if you can get past the distaste that the idea causes, the cure does work.

Cold nose - Warm heart

My nose and bottom are always cold
So if it's the extremities that are the coldest then my nose and bum must stick out quite far

I move around less in the evenings so my feet get cold. I wear socks in bed most night.
What I wonder is why my nose is often red! I rarely drink alcohol, avoid coffee and don't have much tea.

Some drugs can lead to cold extremities...feet etc. Usually beta blockers, ones whose names end with 'lol' eg bisoprolol

My feet spmetimes take ages tovwarm up in bed too (in the winter) bit I find that if i put socks on ( even quite thin ones) they warm up quite quickly.

I get cold kneecaps! Not legs or back of knees, just the actual kneecaps. My Dad used to get this too and as a child I knitted knee warmers for him!

Cold hands and feet could be due to hypothyroidism? My feet are always icy but the thyroxine I take doesn't seem to help there. I've abandoned hwb for socks at the moment and always have a winter tog duvet. Conversely a few yeas ago in Italy I found the heat insufferable and spent the night covered in cold, wet towels. I think my thermostat, or ability to adapt, has broken down. Does this happen as we age? Nose ok incidentally.

Bloomin' age again: nothing works quite as well as it used to. Nose cold, but not bothered, except that eyes and nose water, particularly if it's cold, but can also happen when it's hot, whilst walking in the middle of a hot day. The optician thought the eyes might be blepharitis, but having religiously followed directions, eyes are no better, and nose leaks whenever it feels like it, along with the eyes. Basically I understand it could be that the nerves supplying the eyes and sinuses are overactive for no obvious reason. Feet too hot in trainers and too cold in leather shoes, winter or summer. But sandals and socks perfect, as long as I take a hot water bottle/heated wheat bag to bed for my feet. All about managing old age (66!) I guess.

I think that if you are at all anaemic your extremities (hands, feet, nose etc) tend to get cold - might be worth checking.

Are you on any medications? Mine make my nose cold and/or itchy.

My nose gets cold sometimes, I think the circulation needs to get to important parts of the body first, and the nose gets left behind sometimes!

I am so pleased to read this. I wear thermal vests even in the summer and thin summer dresses are not for me. Fluffy bed socks sometimes. My nose has always been red and cold! It's nice to discover I'm quite normal. Thank you ladies!

Baggs doctors no longer recognise chilblains. DH had a problem and the doc diagnosed chilblains but I remember them from my childhood and they were not. Eventually they found the cause.

Because you nose is so loooong, the blood can't get to the end of it!!!

Two vests, electric fire, electric blanket and flannelette sheets. That's my summer and still I've got a cold nose. I'm glad to hear others also suffer. I thought I was fading away.

I've found that wearing legwarmers, well scrunched around my ankles, helps keep my feet warm. Then they get too warm!

My mum always used to say that if you are too hot then you should expose your wrists and neck first. Ankles too if appropriate. And that the converse works just as well, so if you are cold, make sure your wrists and neck are well-wrapped, ditto ankles.

It starts with my ankles, once they get cold it spreads to my feet, and then my nose. I have been known to watch TV in a t-shirt and cut offs, with socks and woolly boot slippers!
Not a good look! ?

henetha my thermostat doesn't seem to work properly these days, I am either feeling chilly or hot and embarrassingly perspiring.

It's my hands and sometimes my back.
In fact, I was just wondering whether or not to go and put my vest back on but it is supposed to be Summer
So I have put on a fleecy waistcoat instead and will put on some gardening gloves when it stops raining.

My nose feels quite warm btw.

These days, if I get really cold, it takes me ages, really ages, to warm up again, and involves blankets and hot
water bottles. A sort of mini hypothermia. Does anyone else find this?

It's my feet in the evening what feels the cold my oh gets the cold nose .

Isn't a cold nose a sign of good health ...... in a dog ? ........... only saying !

This is interesting - DH suffers from cold legs and feet in the evening too! I sometimes have it if the weather is cold no matter how warm the room is. We were talking about it last week.

My nose is always cold when I wake up on a morning, DH says it is because I am a nose breather and that is all that sticks over the duvet.

No solution or explanation, Baggs (so no bleeding help at all really), but I get this sometimes too. I'd always assumed it was to do with circulation.

At the children's museum we go to, there's a feature where you can stand/jig about in front of a screen that shows how warm your body is via different colours, through red for warm to blue for cold. The family push me in front of this so they can all have a good laugh at my expense bright blue nose. Even nearby strangers comment on it.
