You may have Raynaud's

Raynaud's is a common condition affecting around 1 in 6 people. In people who have Raynaud's, the small blood vessels in the extremities are over-sensitive to changes in temperature or stress. This causes a Raynaud's attack where the fingers change colour typically white, blue, or red. Raynaud's symptoms generally affect the fingers and toes, but all extremities can be involved, including the ears, nose, lips, tongue and nipples.

If you are experiencing painful or frequent symptoms then it is worthwhile visiting your GP to discuss the situation, including management techniques and possible treatment options.

You should also see your doctor if you ever:

• have swollen fingers and acid reflux / heartburn
• also have joint pain, skin rashes or muscle weakness
• only have symptoms on one side of your body
• are over 30 and getting symptoms of Raynaud's for the first time
