Brief Answer:
Suggestive of Raynaud’s phenomenon
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Your described symptoms suggestive of Raynaud’s phenomenon. It is a common condition that affects the blood supply to certain parts of the body, usually the fingers and toes.
It is usually triggered by cold temperatures or by anxiety or stress. You can control the symptoms by avoiding the cold, wearing gloves and using relaxation techniques when feeling stressed.
If you are unable to control your symptoms yourself, then I suggest you to consult a physician for thorough evaluation. He or she may prescribe you medication called nifedipine to control the symptoms.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and informative and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care.
