Morning, the tips of my fingers and toes go white and numb at least once a day!
I’m not in any pain, and I was just wondering if I should bother the dr with this?

It could be Reynauds syndrome. Not serious I think but you probably should talk with your GP.

Thanks Rosie

Nothing sinister or otherwise comes to mind with the information that you have given.
You have had gastric reduction surgery and with that in mind, as long as your"bloods"are normal, then I wouldnot worry your GP.
Monitor the situation for the ensuing weeks.
Raynauds doesn't spring to mind as pain is the predominant feature of this syndrome.
I ha E assumed that you are not on beta blockers.

I take blood pressure, b12; vitamin d and lanzopraole all prescription
OK, if your BP tablets are beta blockers, then that is your answer.
Really? That's interesting.
Question Author
It’s Perindopril
Ah! thanks, that is NOT a beta blocker it is what is known an ACE inhibitor, which would not cause your problem.

Thank you
