I’ve been on Reddit for almost 10 years, so I’m kind of an expert at this type of thing. Im sorry, but you’ve died.

And the Dr said it was because of what?!

Heyo. I had thoracic outlet syndrome from a car accident, and had surgery to correct it. It’s not unheard of to have it bilaterally. You need to see a doctor, hot stat asap. This is not normal.
..Plus if you have TOS, you might get lucky like I did and get to keep a piece of the rib they remove, which is super fun… would make for a bomb mildlyinteresting update post.
ETA: here is my rib. This is just a small piece, as the surgeon used a device that apparently bites/chews it out piece by piece. I did not have a cervical rib, it was my full top rib that was removed. This is obviously after a few rounds of scrubbing soaking and cleaning.
Be interesting to see how you respond to a tilt table test. I have this issue and have neurally mediated hypotension.

Is this low blood pressure or not enough pressure to circulate the blood out from his hands?
What about your feet? Anyway see a doc

Could be dysautonomia or venous insufficiency.

If your body is doing something unusual enough for you to post it on reddit, most certainly you have a House MD level rare life threatening illness

I know it’s usually “haha hospital!!!” comments on any posts like this.
But like… genuinely see a doctor with this one.

Yes please get to a doctor and have your circulation checked. Something like this could signal a life threatening issue.

Mine do that too, I have POTS caused by hEDS. My legs do it as well – when I was well enough to work, my shoes would be loose in the morning and tight in the evening from my feet swelling. You definitely need to see a doctor to ascertain the cause – for me, getting on POTS meds, electrolytes, and compression socks/tights has been so beneficial.

This is called mottling and is a sign of poor circulation, it can be caused by different things but is generally a sign that something is wrong with your cardiovascular system. Doctor time

Hey yeah so I had a sneaky peek at your posting history and you have EDS and existing heart problems. Why…are you asking Reddit when you are clearly already at risk and are surely under the care of some kind of medical professional? Please get to your GP surgery ASAP. I’m not a doctor but, like…come on now, mate. Look after yourself.

My little sibling has this issue in their legs from sitting and messing around on the computer sun up to sundown and never going out for even minimal exercise (e.g., walking…). So now when they stand for longer than 30min at a time their legs get purple and start to swell and they have to sit down.
Yes get it checked out please.

That looks suspiciously like Raynaud’s, which is an autoimmune disease. It’s rarely life threatening, but you’ll have to take extra precautions for certain things, if you have it.
For context, I am NOT a doctor, but I do have Raynaud’s and when my doctor saw my feet, it took him about .001 seconds after I removed my third sock to diagnose me, saying it was the fastest he’s ever diagnosed it.
I like to freak people out with it, saying I’m just a mutant who got the sucky ass powers of hypercolor skin as opposed to something cool, like flying. However, if my toes or fingers turn STARK white, it fucking hurts.
