Vasomotor: Sounds more vascular than neurological. A primary medical doctor can order an ultrasound & vascular studies of your arm. Carpal tunnel would not present this way. Rare possibilities are burger's and reynauds, and you might see a rheumatologist to rule these out. Thoracic outlet syndrome could cause these symptoms, but you would also have an aching shoulder discomfort, which you do not mention.
