The most I can find is that when those symptoms appear in a person who has an autoimmune disease it is called Raynaud's Syndrome/Phenomenon - it occurs as a secondary condition in people who have an autoimmune disease, but it doesn't seem to be an autoimmune disease in itself. It seems the same phenomenon is called Primary Raynaud's Disease when it appears in people who do not have an autoimmune disease, so having those symptoms does not automatically mean that you have an autoimmune disease, but it's probably wise to have that possibility ruled out with tests.
