Hands turning grey/blue

About 10 days ago both of my hands turned a greyish/blue colour, my heart began racing and I was very light headed. As I had a previous history of supraventricular tachycardia (corrected by RF ablation 14 years ago) my husband called the ambulance. I was taken to hospital and was monitored all weekend. I was advised before being discharged that there was nothing wrong with my heart but no real explanation for the discolouration of my hands.



Out of curiosity I went to see a naturopath who does iridology. He told me that my liver isn't functioning correctly and that is why my hands were discoloured.



I was feeling very tired in the weeks leading up to the episode along with a few other vague symptoms incuding unexplained weight loss (about 1kg in 2 weeks).



I would like to get to the bottom of this to give me a little peace of mind.
