A member asked:

54 year old active male loses blood flow to his two middle fingers on his right hand and they turn white. this lasts for awhile and has happened before. what can be causing this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blood vessel spasm?: Symptoms like loss of blood flow to 2 fingers can be due to something blocking the blood flow in the artery, such as artery tightening in a spasm, the artery getting blocked inside, or something pressing on the artery. Human cells don't survive lack of blood flow for long, so a patient can see a cardiologist, vascular surgeon, rheumatologist, hand surgeon, and primary care doctor to figure it out.
