Raynaud's Phenomenon - Topic Overview

(continued)

You may be able to prevent Raynaud's attacks with these home treatment tips:

Remember to keep your body warm at all times.
Wear mittens or gloves when it is cold outside.
Use potholders or oven mitts when you get something from the refrigerator or freezer.
Keep your feet warm by wearing wool or synthetic socks rather than pure cotton socks.
Try running warm water over your hands. It can increase blood flow to them.

If you can't control your symptoms with home treatment, your doctor may give you a medicine called a calcium channel blocker. This may increase blood flow to your hands and feet and relieve symptoms.
