It might be what's called Raynaud's phenomenon. It's a rare condition that causes your hands (or sometimes feet) to turn purple as a reaction to cold or stress. A very small percentage of the population experiences this (3% or something like that). BUT don't assume that this is the case. A health professional is always the best place to go if you have a concern like this.

I think you have a harmless condition known as raynauds phenomenon. It is s quite common. Basically, the extremeties of your limbs are over sensitve to cold or stress & become deprived of oxygen due to vascular spasm of the extremeties. (Not heart or other vital organs)

Get checked for Reynaud's syndrome by a dr. Read the link below. It is a great explanation.

Exercise may help this. See your doctor to check whether or not you have Reynaud's syndrome.
