Not normal: Your history is unknown to me but sounds like you may have problems with your circulation. Would recommend that you have testing done (can be ordered by your primary care doctor) to check your circulation such as ankle brachial index measurement, arterial ultrasound, and possibly others as deemed necessary by your doctor.
