See details: There are several treatment options and they depend on the severity of the disease. As far as meds go, calcium channel blockers are usually tried first especially nifedipine. Doctors may suggest vasodilators such as Pletal but I have found them to be usually of little or no benefit. For more severe cases viagra (sildenafil) type of drugs can be effective. For very severe prostacyclin inhibitors.

Find the trigger : Raynaud's occurs because the small vessels of the hands or, less commonly, the feet spasm as a result of certain "triggers." there can be a number of triggers for this spasm and you should pay attention to when raynaud's occurs and try to eliminate that trigger. Cold weather seems to be one of the more common triggers, but emotional stress can be one as well. Medication can sometimes help too.
