Public ordered by doctor to do easy one-minute test to see if they have health condition
BBC Morning Live resident doctor and author Dr Punam Krishan is calling for the public to participate in a 60-second online test to determine if they could be one of the 10 million people in the UK impacted by Raynaud's.The condition is where the small blood vessels in the extremities, such as the hands, feet, fingers, or toes, are oversensitive to even the slightest change in temperature and, sometimes, emotional stress. It results in the skin turning white, then blue, and finally red as circulation returns, and it can often be accompanied by numbness or pain.The symptoms are often triggered by fluctuating temperatures, with many experiencing them now that winter has kicked in.
