Hi, It may have an effect on vasoconstriction and vasodilatation mechanisms of the vessels. If it is possible to keep the temperatur difference at minimum level can help.

I suggest to you to see a Vascular Surgeon for an evaluation of your vascular system to find out if you can tolearate such a work for long time and not have any complication from it later in life.
