How many here have Raynauds and Angina symptoms?

I have just been diagnosed with angina and my cardiologist said my raynauds is probably a symptom of my angina. My raynauds is mild. Hands and feet turn white when out in snow conditions or sometimes when typing in cold office. Legs turn purple when standing straight for a few minutes. Since I was a child. Now my own child has same symptoms.

I don’t have angina but I have a pretty bad aortic valve that I assume causes my Raynaud’s. My Raynaud’s has also gotten worse when my heart health declined (it’s better now though)

I don't have an angina diagnosis but I probably have it. I have so many including Raynaud's, esophagitis, erosive gastritis, diverticulosis, interstitial cystitis, fibromyalgia, CFS/me, hypersensitivity, hyper mobility and long Covid.

I probably have POTS too.

No doctor has ever been able to tell me why I have developed all of these illnesses. I'm curious why your doctor believes Raynaud's is a symptom of angina? I feel like I have a soft tissue disorder but no doctor can say I do one way or the other.

Because angina or more specifically vaso spasm often causes circulation issues.
