Raynaud's syndrome: cannot be completely eradicated. Avoidance of cold exposure, trauma to fingers from vibrating tools, avoid vasoconstrictors (phenylephrine, pseudoephedrine, diet pills, medications for ADD, sumatriptan, ergotamines). The use of long-acting dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers, amlodipine or nifedipine, phosphodiesterase inhibitors such as sildenafil also prove useful.recommend rheumatologist
