What Causes Numbness In Finger And Red Patches All Over The Body?

My husbands thumb, first and second finger on his right hand are completely numb. Plus his body is covered in patches of red. He was out in 24 degree weather all day Friday and thinks it s frost bite. However, I feel as though he has a blood clot, it s his heart or a mini stroke. His had been under the most stress of his life the past 2 weeks. He is 47 years old. He takes Ativan and Celexa daily.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your husband, this is not the frost bite but this could be due to the cervical spine compression and this is happening due to some poor posture or uneven angle of head position like watching the roof for long time or looking up keeping head in backward position, try to maintain good position, everything would be fine soon, take care, have a nice day.
