Why are my nails turning blue?

I got a weird situation. So my nails turn blue, for no reason they just do. My oxygen is good I have it checked everytime I go to the doctor. My legs and arms will also turn blue sometimes. On the occasion I will get cold, but only sometimes. Does anybody know why this is happening? Or have an educated guess? 🤔

Have you been to the doctor about it yet?

Yes they just "weird", so not very helpful...

Have you tried an allergy test? I once had a life threatening reaction to a pill combo that immediately made my nails blue etc and cut off oxygen to my brain. Went to the ER and they said it was allergies. Could be worth looking into

OH my gosh that's awful! No I haven't. I have just concluded that it's Ryhnauds syndrome, should I really try testing?
