   Reynauds? (Open to All Health Related Topics board)

23rd April 2004
I've suffered from Raynaud's for some time now. What has helped with symptom control is a calcium-channel blocker; in my case my doctor prescribed Norvasc which typically is indicated for lowering blood pressure (mine is usually already low at around 110/70 alone with no medication), but it has worked wonders at helping keep my hands and feet warmer. Also, is it just your hands and feet primarily that are cold, or does it feel like you whole boday? If it's your whole body, it could be something such as a thyroid disorder
