It sounds like you have a vascular issue that may be PAD and affected by small fiber neuropathy (SFN). SFN needs to be diagnosed with a skin punch biopsy and SFN can affect heart/cardiovascular system, lungs and digestion. The blue coloring and coldness of your feet makes me think of Reynauds which is autoimmune. My understanding is SFN can be autoimmune, too. You may want your blood tested for cardio lipid autoantibodies which means you may be more prone to blood clots (Antiphospholipid Syndrome). I had these autoantibodies show up in my bloodwork by a rheumatologist in 2017 and 2019.

I asked to be referred to a rheumatologist but GP said my blood test ruled
that out! Maybe when I see Dr Hadden who is a specialist in the Peripheral
Neuropathy field he may shed some light. I will have a skin biopsy as well
on same day. It's to see if I may have Autonomic Neuropathy,........I am
hoping that will be ruled out.
