This short article from Johns Hopkins is helpful for your husband's problem, please read: "https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/raynauds-phenomenon". The primary form is common and secondary form is less likely with just slightly high ESR, ANA of 1:160 (speckled pattern) and other serology tests are negative . Good luck to him!
