What does it mean when your blood feels cold?
Anemia happens when your system can’t make enough normal red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout your body. There are a number of different types of anemia. A tendency to feel cold is a common symptom for many of them.
Is being cold a symptom of blood loss?
Your body starts to compensate for blood loss by constricting the blood vessels in your limbs and extremities. This is your body’s attempt to maintain your blood pressure and blood flow. This subsequently lowers the amount of blood your heart pumps outside the center of your body. Your skin may become cooler and pale.
Why do I suddenly feel freezing cold?

What is cold intolerance a symptom of?
Cold intolerance is a well known symptom of hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones.

Is it possible to get your blood to freeze?
Human blood has no antifreeze properties. With slow freezing, most of the water will crystallize out, leaving a cell and solute enriched slush behind. With flash-freezing of cell-free plasma, constituents remain in suspension. Originally Answered: Would it be possible to get your blood so cold that it freezes?
What happens to the blood when the skin freezes?

Why does Bood freeze at a lower temperature?
Bood will freeze at a lower temperature, but not much lower, since there is so much dissolved in the ‘blood water’ that lowers the freezing point. Based on ion concentration the freezing is probably ~ -2°C. But the protein (albumin) may further lower the freezing point.
