To have one finger cold as ice while the rest are normal temp?

I'm dead serious on this question because this has been going on for me for the last 2 weeks

No. It's not normal. Is it a different color (like paler or bluish?) is it numb?

 

It indicates some kind of issue with either circulation, the local nerves, or both. If it's your finger, you ought to ask somebody who can look at it (like your primary), but if it's just your finger, I think you'll live until morning, and can forgo panicking until then.

After reading around everything keeps saying it's Raynaud's phenomenon

I'm worried

Well, it's your health and your gamble, buddy.

 

I'm not going to tell you how to live.

 

It's just weird it hits randomly and it takes serveral minutes to warm back up

This is all on my typing hand "left hand"

If it's Reynaud's, don't smoke (or hang around people smoking), probably avoid excessive alcohol, and wear mittens - they keep your fingers warmer than gloves. Don't panic; Reynaud's is not fatal, and can often be improved by simple lifestyle changes.

... Well rule out iron but the other 2 I haven't had in a while

 

Potassium is easy, get some bananas.

 

I'd move up that doctor date though. If it is circulation/blood clotting you don't want more potassium.

Oh hell

I keep forgetting that potassium is major heartburn for me

.. well bananas do anyway

 

I wonder if the pills would work just the same
