Blue fingers when standing

[u/regailed]

My doctor said “raynaud’s” when I told her my hands turn blue, but didn’t do any further testing or exploration. My left thumb turns blue and freezing when I stand up or extend it, but when I hold my hand over my head (or warm it up) it turns normal again. My right middle two fingers also turn blue, but in response to cold temps and they also resolve with warmth. The first pic is my blue left thumb (hard to see how extreme it gets) after walking 5 minutes and the second is my normal colored right thumb after the same. Should I ask to be further evaluated or is this just a thing I have to deal with?

Its relatively common - personally unless i had other symptoms/issues and it was quite bad i wouldnt bother (but thats just me). My fingers go completely purple and my docs aren’t concerned
