Why is my body warm but my feet are cold?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Cold feet can be due to various reasons such as decreased blood circulation to the extremities due to atherosclerosis that is cholesterol deposition in blood vessels, nerve damage - nerves that detect temperature are not working, lean body - persons who have less body fat need to conserve more heat which happens by feet becoming cold to keep internal organs warm, normal response to cold climate.

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've noticed a few cervical lymph nodes. Earlier today, I experienced a sensation like an insect bite, and now it feels like a lymph node might have burst. Is it possible for a lymph node to actually burst? What could cause that to happen, and what symptoms should I be on the lookout for?

Drinking lemon water before a fasting test is generally not recommended. Here's why: _Fasting Test Requirements_ Fasting tests, such as blood glucose or lipid profile tests, require you to abstain from food and drinks for a specified period, usually 8-12 hours. _Why Avoid Lemon Water?_ 1. _Caloric intake_: Lemon water contains calories, which can break your fast and affect test results. 2. _Blood sugar fluctuations_: Lemon water may cause a slight increase in blood sugar levels, which could impact test results, especially for blood glucose tests. 3. _Acidity_: Lemon water's acidity might stimulate digestion and potentially affect test results. _What to Drink Instead?_ If you're thirsty before a fasting test, you can drink: 1. _Plain water_: Water is calorie-free and won't affect test results. 2. _Black coffee or tea_: These beverages are calorie-free and won't break your fast.

I'm just wondering if it's alright to take a head bath with hot water when you have a fever, or maybe the day after if the fever's gone down. It's winter right now, so would that make any difference? I want to make sure I'm doing what's best for my body to recover.
