I currently can't seem to shake the worry that I've got bad circulation which would therefore indicate I've got a bad heart. I have always had a problem where at least one of my fingers will turn white when exposed to quite cold temperatures. However now in the last 2 years I've had very painful chillblains (I'm only 30, I thought older people got these!). I have now noticed that my fingernails seem to have a purple tinge to them especialy towards the bottom of the nail, my hands and feet seem permantly cold and in general it seems to take me ages to warm up which I've never had a problem with. Also in an evening when I've just been sat watching tv and therefore not moving much I notice my hands appear purple in colour but my fingers are all white.
I'm sure people can just have poor circulation without having heart problems but how would you know? Due to my heart worrys I've had an ecg and this didn't show any problems, my bp is good and my cholestorol is 5.1 but aparantly I've got a lot of good cholesterol. Would these tests show if any problems with circulation?
I'm afraid I googled and that's what has lead to so much worry about this! Any help or advice would be fantastic. Thank you
