A member asked:
I'm finding my left arm and hand are particularly cold and lighter and veins in my hand are small and tortuous compared to the right. what's wrong?

Vascular issue: You may have a vascular issue affecting the blood flow to the arm. An evaluation by vascular surgery is in order . An arterial doppler of the arm needs to be done. You may have a subclavian steal syndrome or cervical rib causing the problem.
