This condition causes the blood supply to the
hands and feet (and sometimes other areas such as the nose) to be
interrupted, upon which those areas turn white then blue as the oxygen
supply runs out, and then red as the blood supply is finally resumed.
During the white and blue stage, cold and numbness are the primary
features, but the return of feeling can be exquisitely painful.
Check your blood pressure and medication with your doctor and don't forget the obvious stuff - dress warmly , wearing hats, gloves, scarves and warm footwear. Avoid smoking, eat warming foods and exercise regularly.
Signs include:- Affected are turning white/blue
- Numbness
- Feeling cold
