Hi, I don't know whether I ought to be concerned or not so hoping someone can give me some advice.

My left big toe keeps having a feeling of being ridiculously icy cold (it is not cold to the touch) even when there's no way it could be cold

Also im being woke up in the night with my legs feeling very heavy from below the knee down.

Daily I take 10mg rampiril, indiapide, 40mg simvastin and 75mg asprin (+other non related medication)

I would be grateful if anybody knew the causes

Thanks x

I would discuss this with your Doctor, if it were me I would as soon as you can.

Good luck

Had the same with 2 small toes on the right leg. They found a blood flow restriction in the leg and an Angioplasty solved the problem.It may not be your problem but it is very similar

when you speak to your gp , mention ALL medication your taking, not just the prescription stuff

I think it would be very wise to visit your GP. It does sound that there is a circulatory problem which should be looked into. I agree with foxyrobyn you must let your GP know of EVERYTHING you are taking because there could be an adverse reaction going on between the medication you are on. All the best.

Thanks everybody for your comments/advice and I will ring on Monday and make a go appt just to be on the safe side. I've lupus disease and arthritis so also take leflunomide, meloxican, co codamol and tramadol for those conditions also. I did think it was probably something to do with circulation/inflammation x x
