Does this happen to anyone else?
« on: 18:40:24, 18/03/18 »
Feeling warm when out walking and shivering (as in goosebumps shivering, not shuddery shivering) once you're back inside your nice cozy, warm home?


This always happens to me, even in summer.


Can anyone offer any suggestions as to why?

Not exactly the same but when I walked for 9 days in Scotland in Jan/Feb I never felt cold, felt quite warm actually but when I got home and was sitting in my living room with the heating on, I ended up having to put a 2nd jersey on as I was freezing.

I'm just assuming that I was warm in the hills as I had warm walking winter gear on whereas sitting around the house it was just normal clothes.

I guess the solution is to sit indoors with full winter hear on  :D :D

I'm meaning immediately after a walk Bri  :-\   Plus, the house is plenty warm enough (currently at 20 degrees  :o  )


I could understand it if I'd been sat around all day doing nowt (metabolism nodding off and all that) but not going from feeling warm in the cold to feeling cold in the warm  ;D


Agreed though.  I should have full winter kit on indoors rather than turn the heating up  ;)    :D

 Happens all the time.I have found the best way to counter it is to put on extra clothing and have a warm drink.

Very interesting article that Tony. I suffer the opposite to Mel. If I cycle to work I'm hot and sweating when I arrive. Never mind. I have a shower on arrival, and even turn it down to cool to finish. I get dressed in my nice clean clothes and by the time I get to my desk, I'm leaking like mad again. It the probably takes another 30 mins to an hour to get right again.

Yes, interesting read tonyk.  Basically it's telling me it happens to anyone who's overweight, sorry, has a large surface area, and is unfit  ;D       :-[   But yes, I put on extra layers and have a cuppa... and still shiver!


Hillhiker1 - I'm the same if I'm actually sweating then jump into a shower, jump out again and get dressed and I feel like I need another shower.

I’m only guessing Mel, but could it be while out walking you’re generating heat from exercise which is internal.
I have felt hot many times walking, although my body skin was cold.
Once you stop exercising, and stop that internal heat, your external temperature is still cold?


Just a theory, could be a load of b...... :D
Walking is the world’s oldest exercise and today’s modern medicine.

Here’s a theory.
While you are exercising your body burns calories generating heat. Surface blood vessels dilate and perspiration begins to exploit latent heat of evaporation to cool your body by returning cooled blood to your core. When exercise stops heat generation stops but surface cooling continues for a while. Since this takes place on your skin surface, you feel cold. Entering your cozy home also sends a signal to your body telling it is warm so the “ cooling system” stays on a bit longer.

Ultra distance fast walkers and runners including myself, especially after multi day events where the object is keep moving as much as possible, suffer drenching nightime sweats when they go to bed. Lasts about as long as the event does, ie: a weeks event = a week of nightime sweats.

Well I'm (sort of) glad there's an element of truth behind my strange not cold shivers and it's not just me. 


... Just need to find a way of minimising or preventing it...  :-\


My first experiment will be getting in and getting a shower straight away, even before my cuppa.  In theory, if my skin is chilled, even though the inside of me isn't, then the shower will warm me up and tell my internal brrrrrr receptors I'm not cold.  Worth a try, and I usually get a shower anyway but it's normally after my cuppa and by then I'm starting to feel shivery.

I think I experience the same thing, and from this afternoon's experiment, shower before cuppa.
The trouble is, I am so desperate for that cuppa......
I have been known to take one into the bath with me

Mel, not sure how old you are  ;D but could it be hormone related? I’m now of the age where I seem to get hot/ cold for no particular reason.

It would have to be a longish shower to be effective - luxuriate!

Oooohhhh how dare you!!  ;D   Fairly sure it's not hormone related as it only happens when I've been out walking/active and come back and sit down for a relax. It seems very predictable in that sense.  Thanks for the heads-up of the joys of things to come though  :-\
