My fingertips turn blue, but only when they get cold. why does that happen, and should i see a doctor?

Blue fingertips: This could result from poor circulation & that is termed peripheral cyanosis. Some possible causes are raynaud's phenomenon, reduced cardiac output, venous obstruction, or poor blood supply to fingertips. Needs evaluation soon. Please contact your family doc. For workup.
