If your fingers are cold and numb due to stress or cold

How to avoid this unpleasant feeling?

Raynaud's disease causes some areas of your body — such as your fingers and toes — to feel numb and cold in response to cold temperatures or stress. Accordingly, against the background of the provocative risk factor complain of cold fingers, skin discoloration (initially white, then blue), numbness, tingling sensation, severe pain.

It appears to be more common in people who live in colder climates.

In a large percentage of clinical cases, Raynaud's disease does not cause serious complications, although it does affect quality of life.

Although Raynaud's most commonly affects your fingers and toes, it can also affect other areas of your body, such as your nose, lips, ears and even nipples.

Prevention

To help prevent Raynaud's attacks:

Bundle up outdoors. When it's cold, don a hat, scarf, socks and boots, and two layers of mittens or gloves before you go outside.

Wear earmuffs and a face mask if the tip of your nose and your earlobes are sensitive to cold.

Warm your car. Run your car heater for a few minutes before driving in cold weather.

Take precautions indoors. Wear socks. When taking food out of the refrigerator or freezer, wear gloves, mittens or oven mitts. Some people find it helpful to wear mittens and socks to bed during winter.
