A member asked:
Can cold weather affect or worsen vascular symptoms or diseases, if so what conditions (fibromuscular dysplasia or inflammatory conditions?)

Yes: Cold weather commonly makes angina (coronary insufficiency) worse and, because it causes vasoconstriction peripherally, it also makes claudication worse. If you have fmd in your heart, cold weather could be harder for you.
