OUR resident specialist and NHS GP, Dr Zoe Williams, shares her expert advice.
Today, Dr Zoe helps a reader who has several concerning symptoms.
Sun columnist Dr Zoe helps a reader who has cold feet and other symptoms that could be linked
Q) MY husband has been complaining for a while about extremely cold feet.
He says they’re bone-cold from the inside, not just on the outside.
He also wakes up in the middle of the night, in extremely hot sweats.
Plus, he has asthma and eczema which are now a little worse than normal, has slight liver issues, is possibly on the cusp of diabetes and gets ocular migraines.
Could these symptoms be one problem, which we can go to the GP with?
GettyAs GPs, we often ask our patients to only present one problem to us per consultation, as we only have ten minutes and need to give that whole appointment to one issue in order to deal with it properly[/caption]
A) The cold feet could be caused by a circulation issue or nerve damage to the feet, or it could be a symptom of a systemic or autoimmune condition.
But it sounds like there is a lot going on and your GP is best placed to commence a line of investigation to try and figure out what is causing these symptoms.
As GPs, we often ask our patients to only present one problem to us per consultation, as we only have ten minutes and need to give that whole appointment to one issue in order to deal with it properly.
But the exception is when you think several symptoms and issues might be linked.
Make a list of the symptoms you think may be connected, and present this to the GP.
They can arrange some blood tests and other investigations if required, then see you again for a follow-up.
TIP: The best sleeping position is on your back because it keeps the spine straight.
But some people with back pain find that sleeping on their side is best, with a pillow between the knees.
This may also help snorers and those who suffer with acid reflux.

TWO teenage girls have been arrested by Iran’s chilling morality police for dancing together in public.
Tehran’s twisted laws mean the duo could now face prison time after draconian officials branded their outfits “inappropriate” despite them wearing jeans and jumpers.

Viral footage released by the girls and posted onto Instagram soon caught the evil eyes of the Iranian authorities.
In the video, the pair perform a choreographed dance routine together in front of the Monument to the Unknown Martyrs of the Sacred Defence war memorial in Tehran.
The monument, designed by Italian architect Marcello D’Olivo, was built to honour those killed in the Iran-Iraq War between 1980 and 1982.
The morality police are said to have detained the women shortly after the video was uploaded.
Dancing in groups has been strictly banned in Iran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution with officials labelling it a “sinful act”.
Iranian authorities also said the girl’s outfits were “inappropriate”, according to Iran International.
The footage shows the women both wearing jeans.
One of them has rips in hers but no skin is on show.
The same woman is also in a blue cropped top which is covered up by a hooded jacket.
A pink bandage is also wrapped around her right hand.
Her friend has a multicoloured sweater on.
Both also have their hair uncovered despite the morality police typically forcing all women to conceal their hair.
A growing number of young girls have turned a blind eye to these strict policies across the past few years.
The ladies are also believed to have had their Instagram accounts blocked after they were detained for posting the dance.
The official punishment the women face is still unconfirmed with Iran’s authorities known to uphold unjust charges against those who go against the regime.
According Article 637 of the Iranian Penal Code, dancing in public is classed as a “crime against public modesty”.
People in similar positions as the women have been sentenced to flogging by 99 lashes in the past.
In 2014, six young men and women were handed down suspended sentences of a year behind bars as well as 91 lashes for a dance video.
They were arrested after being caught in a video dancing to Pharrell Williams‘ hit song “Happy”.
TEHRAN’S HORROR REGIME
Women are facing tighter restrictions than ever before in Iran with a new bill is set to toughen up regulations governing how they can dress and act in public.
The bill says that anyone found “naked, semi-naked, or wearing clothing deemed improper in public” can be arrested without question and handed over to the judicial authorities.
People refusing to comply could be banned from leaving Iran or even placed on a social media hiatus of up to two years if they post content deemed inappropriate online.
The law is yet to be passed by Tehran’s government but officers are already implementing it, claim several women.
The footage of the woman in the airport appears to be the latest example of Iranian women growing tired of the mandatory hijab laws.
Her clothes and headscarf were both torn during the alleged assault at the Azad University of Science and Research in Tehran, Iran International reports.
Footage shows the woman sat near-nude outside a university before being bundled violently into a car by police.
She was also reportedly accused of being mentally ill and taken to a nearby hospital.
Women of all ages ripped off their compulsory hijabs at public demonstrations in defiance of the nation’s feared morality police.
Hundreds of people were killed, including dozens of security personnel, in a brutal crackdown and thousands of protesters were arrested.
Reports of torture and death at the hands of officials have also surfaced.
Iran's Morality Police
UNDER Iranian law, rooted in Sharia law, women must cover their hair with a hijab and wear long, loose-fitting clothing.
The Guidance Patrol – aka the morality police – are in charge of arresting women who violate the conservative dress code.
Tasked with ensuring Islamic morals are respected, they spend their days patrolling public spaces in vans to crack down on “improper” behaviour and clothing.
Women detained by cops are either given a warning or bundled into a van and whisked away to a “correctional facility” or a police station.
They are then lectured on how to dress before being released to their male relatives.
Since the 1980s, many women have been beaten to death by the callous morality police, or tortured into given false confessions.
Various clips this year have shown their increased presence as the country ramps up its violent crackdowns on women.
One disturbing video shows the moment Iran’s twisted morality police hurl a woman in the back of one of their patrol vans.
Tehran announced a fresh crackdown on “anomalies” to its religious rules under the “Nour Project” in April.
The Jerusalem Post reports suggest crackdowns on behaviour have been violent.
Sexual harassment, beatings, arrests and the use of tasers have been reported around the country.

FUMING Michael van Gerwen claimed his fourth successive defeat to Luke Littler was “unacceptable”.
Twenty-two days after their meeting in the PDC World Championship final, the Dutchman was beaten 6-3 by the Nuke in his backyard of Den Bosch in the quarter-finals of the Dutch Darts Masters.

Van Gerwen was his own biggest critic after defeat against the Nuke
Littler was himself then sunk 7-6 by Sephen Bunting in the semis.
Last year’s champion MVG – he lives only 10 minutes from the venue – fell 3-0 down but pulled it back to 3-3, capitalising in leg five when Littler bust his score of five on double 17.
Van Gerwen, 35, lost to the 18-year-old in Amsterdam in September, Prague in October and then at Ally Pally on January 3 as they contested for the Sid Waddell Trophy.
This latest loss in his homeland continued the hoodoo at the hands of Littler.
The three-time world champion said: “I played terrible tonight. This performance was not acceptable.
“I was really focused all day and wanted to win this trophy so much.
“No matter how hard I tried I just couldn’t get them when I wanted them. I was lucky to be 3-3 – it could have been 6-0.”
Van Gerwen, the world No.3, was playing with a broken toe sustained in a freak accident on his recent family holiday to Thailand.

He said: “It’s annoying but you can’t do anything about it. “It happened last week on holiday.
“Accidents can happen. I enjoyed my holiday. I definitely had a nice rest.”
Van Gerwen’s exit meant there would be a new winner of the Toon Greebe trophy, which is named after a local player who died in October 2023 aged 35.
Raymond van Barneveld, Holland’s most successful player, lost 6-5 in the quarters to Stephen Bunting but the contest saw 32 missed doubles across 11 legs.
Barney, 57, had hinted the previous day he might retire soon, saying: “Maybe only two or three years left in me.”

“PLEASE, Mum. No more twirling,” says my daughter.
But too late. The ghost of Maria Von Trapp has taken control of my limbs and I’m pirouetting across cobblestone streets singing, “High on a hill stood a lonely goatherd . . . ”

The idyllic views of the lakes and mountains
We’re in Salzburg, Austria home of the world’s most famous singing nun.
Along with raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, the kitsch musical movie with nuns and Nazis is one of my favourite things.
It was the soundtrack of my childhood, and my children’s, so I’ve brought along my 19-year-old, Lola.
I wanted to bring her when she was 16 going on 17 but she refused.
The movie is based on the true story of Maria Kutschera, a novice nun who was sent to be a governess to a naval captain’s seven children after his wife died.
It is set in 1930s Salzburg, with its snow-dusted mountains, custard-hued palaces and fairytale churches, and the city seems to have changed very little, in appearance at least.
Panorama Tours have been running the original Sound of Music tour of Salzburg for decades.
A small group of die-hard Sound Of Music fans pile into the minivan of our lovely, dirndl-dressed Aussie guide Kylie.
She takes us to some of movie’s locations, from the Von Trapps’ lakeside home Schloss Leopoldskron, and the gazebo where Liesl and Rolf sing Sixteen Going On Seventeen, to the Mirabell Gardens where Maria and the children Do-Re-Mi’d around the Pegasus Fountain.
We then leave the city to tour the region’s lakes area and the pretty town of St. Gilgen — where the grassy banks of Wolfgangsee are where the children learned to sing.
Lola allows me a small twirl here in homage.
As we climb back into the minivan, Kylie whacks up the stereo and we Do-Re-Mi our way through the mountains to Mondsee and the Basilika St.
Michael, the beautiful church where Maria and Captain Von Trapp tie the knot.
The four-hour tour ends back in Salzburg, where I get to sing “So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye” to Kylie and the group. Even if you’re not a Sound Of Music fan, Salzburg is a treat.
Mozart’s violin
Altstadt, the old town, is a Unesco World Heritage Site with baroque architecture, austere fortresses and the green, zinc-topped spires and domes of endless Catholic churches.
We’re staying in Hotel Stein, a boutique hotel on the banks of the Salzach River with views of the Hohensalzburg Fortress, the darkly Gothic castle that overlooks the city.
It is just moments from the old town’s chocolate, jewellery and lederhosen shops and we stop by one of the many cosy coffee houses for strudel and melange — an Austrian cappuccino.
Long before Fraulein Maria ever arrived with her guitar, Salzburg was home to one of history’s greatest composers, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
His place of birth, in 1756 on Getreidegasse in Altstadt has been preserved as a museum.

You can see his prized collection of instruments, including his childhood violin and fortepiano.
Of course, we can’t visit Austria and not sample another of my favourite things — wiener schnitzel.
Zwettler’s Wirtshaus is a cosy establishment which has been sating Salzburgers’ schnitzel cravings since 1863.
Wolfing down a giant schnitzel and a Salzburger Nockerl — a sweet cloud-like dessert found only in Salzburg — Lola grins and says: “At least this might stop you twirling!”
GO: SALZBURG
