Middle Knuckles On Right Hand Turn Blue On Laying Down In Bed. What Could Be The Reason?
When I go to bed at night, the middle knuckles on my right hand turn blue. When I am sitting up, walking, etc, there is no noticeable difference, only when I lay down at night and it doesn t matter if I am laying on my back or either side. any ideas?

It could be due to compression of blood vessels in lying down position .
If there are no other associated symptoms then there is no cause of concern.
