When this happened to me I sat with a heating pad against my stomach.

What is your weight and body fat, the lower my weight from cancer the more easily I get cold. My body fat is non existent which is an issue for insulation. I'm 130 plus of just hydrated muscle. You need a proper combo

Thanks for the information. Dont know body fat but i could use a few more pounds. At night I sweat like crazy sometimes and therefore lighter the next morning.

Yeah, I had night sweats when I first started chemo. Add to it being so light and wearing such heavy clothing to sleep and stay warm had me waking up soaked.

Sorry to hear that you are dealing with gastritis and GERD. I have had episodes of that a few times- makes me feel miserable in general.
Low thyroid hormones was mentioned already - good idea to have that checked.
I have experienced circulation problems, also feeling cold- especially cold feet. After I got a new aortic valve I’m warmer in general.
What stands out in your case is night sweats- I hope you have a good primary care doctor who can go over all possible causes.
You shouldn’t have to feel so cold all the time.

I find I am wearing a sweater no matter how hot it is. But, at least it isn't painful. Some consequences of eating the wrong item are painful.
