What Causes Only Toes To Go Cold?

My toes stay cold. I have to put a blanket on my feet when I watch tv. sometimes I put on wool socks when I go to bed until my feet get warm. Toes just recently started getting cold, feet has been cold at night for a while. I had my thyroid taken out 42 years ago. I take levothyroxine 75 mcg daily, triamterene hctz 37.5 1 daily, pantoprazole 1 daily, bayer aspiren 81mg 1 daily. I have been feeling dizzy when I lay down or get up. and I have been getting nausea once in a while. this all started about 3 weeks ago when Dr. said I had a sinus infection. I stopped crestor 5mg a day about 3 or 4 weeks ago when my legs got very weak Why would my toes get cold so much? Thank You.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thanks for seeking help on your issue; I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion, the symptoms you are showing are due to a phenomenon called as Reynaulds phenomenon where in the small vessels get constricted on getting cold stimulus. protection from cold of the fingers and toes is the best thing that you can do, certain other associated illness like arthritis has to be ruled out if you have joint pains, watch for other symptoms, but in many cases this can be idiopathic which means without any known cause.
I hope I have been able to provide you with a satisfactory solution, if you want to clear any doubts about my opinion, feel free to contact.
Special note- Any medication prescribed needs to be taken after consultation with your personal doctor only.
Thanks
Dr. Narender Saini
