Having Occasional Attacks Of Low Peripheral Circulation With Cold Hands & Feet
I use 15 mg daily dose of Enalapril, 1 baby aspirin and 5-10 mg Zolpidem. I also take chondroitin/MSM/glucosamine combo daily. I have occasional attacks of low peripheral circulation with cold hands and feet. Is this the synergistic effect of the drugs I am taking and what would be an optimal drug use.

Hello and thanks for writing.
I can understand your concern and would try to help you in the best way possible. The drugs you are currently taking are not known to cause your symptoms. You are probably having raynaud's phenomenon, I suggest you consult a physician fora diagnostic workup and management plan. You may need additional medications like calcium channel blockers to prevent such episodes.
In the mean time avoid cold exposure, keep your hands and toes warm and keep good care of your skin of hands and feet.
