blue hands

hello

i have the foll query :

if someone has slightly bluish fingers some times is this an indication of heart failure or
for that to happen there would be other symptoms and / or blue extremities all the time ?

thanks if anyone can answer

Could be heart related, could be something with the circulatory system (vasospasms of some kind), could be secondary to an autoimmune problem like lupus or RA, Raynauds causes some color changes in the hands and feet, sometimes just one or two fingers at a time.

A doctor should be able to pin it down pretty quickly.

I have to agree with Irene. It does sound like Raynauds Syndrome to me. My fingers turn white but I have heard others say theirs turn blue or purple. Does it happen when your fingers are cold or other times? Ally
