Poor circulation in one hand

Greetings. New member here. I've had my PM going on 2 years now. One thing I've noticed recently is my left hand (the side with the PM) randomly gets a bluish tinge, fingernails included. It seemingly switches back and forth throughout the day. It's odd, because I work in an office thats constantly got the AC blowing full blast but having cold hands doesn't trigger it. There is no pain or swelling but it's still a bit disconcerting. It's most notable when I first awaken. Any thoughts before I start harrassing my cardiologist and arrhythmia docs? Thanks in advance.

Blood pressure?

It may not have anything to do with the PM. Check your blood pressure.

Definitely talk to them

Ask them to do a Doppler ultrasound of the arm & cephalic/subclavian veins to rule out any sign of compression. Even though it's two years on its worth checking. I would definitely speak to them. They should check for any sign of compression or obstruction whether venous or external compression from external structures (muscles, bones etc in the shoulder region)

I finished 29th in London in 2 hours 20 minutes 30 seconds which is my fastest with or without a device so clearly it didn’t slow me down ! I had no problems apart from some slight chaffing on my scar - more Vaseline next time.
