How to use the cold hands and feet episode time calculator
Enter episodes per week, how many minutes one episode lasts, how many days a week you had symptoms, and how many weeks you tracked. The page returns symptom minutes per week, the share of the seven days involved, and the totals across the whole tracking period. It is multiplication and addition, nothing more.
Why there is no score
There are no published weights that turn a handful of questions about cold hands and feet into a risk score or grade. Inventing weights makes the output look precise while resting on nothing, and a low number talks people out of getting seen. So this page hands back the amount of symptom you counted instead. In a consultation, "ten times a week, about twenty-five minutes each" is more useful than "quite often".
If your skin turns white or blue in the cold or under stress, that pattern is a reason to be seen in its own right. This page states that in words rather than folding it into a score. Numbness, a sore that will not heal, or symptoms on one side only are also reasons to be seen. A small total here does not mean nothing is wrong (as of October 2026).
Frequently Asked Questions
Because no published weights exist for turning cold hands and feet into a score or grade. An invented score rests on nothing and a low one delays care, so the page only totals what you logged.

Several episodes can fall on the same day, so the episode count alone cannot tell how many days were involved. The two inputs give the weekly minutes and the share of days separately.
