What Causes Coldness And Redness Of Fingers And Toes?
Question: My fingers & toes are red and sometimes cold. How can this be treated??
Brief Answer:
The reason should be found at first.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Do you have legs swelling? Shortness of breath after some physical activity? Calf pain when walking? Do you have diabetes? Is your skin pale?
Symptoms like yours can be caused by heart failure, atherosclerosis or anemia.
Each issue should be diagnosed and treated in different way. That is why I suggest you to have some tests done at first. Blood work, heart ultrasound, ECG and legs arteries ultrasound should be done at first.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
