Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Raynaud's disease is characterized by pain, numbness, and cold extremities due to spasms in the small blood vessels called arterioles that supply blood to the fingers, toes, ears, and nose. Elevated blood pressure, absent peripheral pulses, and an increase in varicose veins are not typical findings in Raynaud's disease.
