Dr. Susan Rhoads answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Circulation problem?: Get checked ASAP if your finger is turning blue, like today. If it comes and goes, get checked this week. Hard to say what is going on, but if you smoke or drink alcohol or use caffeine, stop! If you have begun any new supplements or over-the-counter meds, stop those too. Good luck!
