Hello there, blood supply to the extremities constantly changes according to demand and muscle activity in the area. When you are up and walking the muscles in the legs are able to pump the blood in the large veins up and down the legs. When you are sitting this doesn't happen, which is why people wear compression stockings for poor circulation (or when in a plane) as it enhances this process, and also why it is advisable to move your feet and legs to keep blood flow going when you sit. When you are sitting you aren't using your feet so the circulation will be better in the area of the vital organs. Make sure you always keep your core body warm as then the circulation will improve to the periphery.

All my best

This happens to me. I just received a mildly positive ANA. Have you received a diagnosis?

I am having the same, do you have a diagnosis?
