A member asked:
Yesterday felt cold hands feet turned white toes turned blue felt weak and unbalanced what could it be can low potassium cause this symptoms thanks?

NO: Potassium levels (neither high nor low) do not cause cold feet or hands. Your symptoms cannot be determined with the information supplied. Ambient temperature, activity, insulation, state of hydration all play a role. Thyroid hormone level can be a factor. Raynaud's phenomenon is a disorder in which hands and feet blanch and become cyanotic, numb, tingly, or painful when exposed to cold.
