This sounds like Raynauds  diseas to me.
This is narrowing of small arteries usually in the fingers and toes, causing purple blue white then red fingers and toes, resulting in the circulation being disturbed, and then you end up with the symptoms you are experiencing.
I would ask the doctor, and hopefully you will get a proper diagnoses, and in extreme cases, the doctor can give dilators which is medication to open the small blood vessels so you dont get the symptoms you are having.

Hope this helps

To me it sounds like Rhenuads(sp) or Anticardiolipid Antibodies both deal with either circulation and thick blood. I'm not a doctor yet if I was you I would get checked for both and start taking a baby asprin every day (only 81 mgs).
