Suggest Treatment For Cool Sensation In Toes
Question: Healthy 62 mail 195 lbs, feel great but have a sensation of a cut off of circulation to my toes. Just within the last hour. No pain but unnerving. Leg feels good and looks normal but some toes are slightly cool. Should I be concerned or could this be temporary?
Brief Answer:
Would recommend a doctors visit for further evaluation into the cause
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. It does seem like you may need to be further investigated, although nothing too urgent, but I would recommend a doctors visit.
The causes can vary greatly; from increased small blood vessel resistance, to a cardiac cause (issues related to pumping of the heart), blood pressure related issues, abnormalities in the blood coagulation profile, nutritional deficiencies (e.g. vitamin B12 deficiency), chronic conditions (e.g. atherosclerosis), diabetes, etc.
If I were your doctor I would start you off on a few medications (E.g. daflon), to help with improving blood flow, but I cannot do that and so would recommend a doctors visit to diagnose the cause and get you treated.
I hope you find my response helpful. Please feel free to write to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help.
Best wishes.
