I take nifedipine 5mg for collagen vascular disease. colour of toes is fine when i take them but my toes go insanely cold!! why?? what's happening???

Too low a dose: The dose of Nifedipine is much too low to have any real benefit for your Raynauds. I start my patients at an extended realease dose of 30 mg daily and increase if needed.
