White finger and chills from hot to cold are just a normal human body reaction. So do not worry. If it was the opposite then maybe there is a problem but only maybe.

I thought Raynauds was more likely if your fingers turned blue from the cold, rather than white. Anyway I do know several people with Raynauds, it is just irritating but hardly life threatening and they don't have autoimmune conditions, just because it is sometimes correlated does not mean that everyone with Raynauds will also have an autoimmune disorder. So pls don't worry too much about it, your 'symptoms' sound pretty normal to me right now! :)
