Ok so i have been having problems with my feet for about a year gradually getting worse. They are either freezing or boiling hot!
I started to notice about 3 months ago that my feet mainly toes were bright red and a bit puffy, when i touched the red areas it would go really white immediately and stay like that for a while before returning bright red, as if there were fluid in there.
I have now noticed that when my feet are red and patchy and aching slightly if i lie down and elevate my feet above my body, they go white immediately! Like literally within a second no redness all white feet :ohmy:
I googled this and it says heart conditions causing poor circulation ect.
Also says if you have lost the hair on your feet, and i have just checked and my hairs have gone(not that they were hairy) but literally all the fine hairs i can't find any they are smooth. I'm freaking out about this i have a docs app on Friday so will be telling him.
I smoke and have done for years and years and years, i am 25 years old.
I had an ecg done about 2 months ago, they said it was normal just sinus arrhythmia, but i don't think ecg's can detect these types of things? So scared of a heart attack or something really bad
:weep:

I know i need to stop smoking it's scaring the hell out of me, my mum had high blood pressure since she was 20 years old, there's a LOT of heart attacks and stroke history in my family too, my granddad was 39 when he had a major stroke so i am really freaking out.
I don't feel like i can wait til Friday because i'm so scared :-( really need calming down but it's hard when my feet are like this, can anyone give me a pep talk please

Could there be a benign cause?? Say i have poor circulation but it isn't a heart issue? as in i can change it by not sitting for long periods and doing more exercise ect is that possible?
Just want re assurance that is doesn't absolutely mean heart trouble
