Nifedipine
Hi All, Earlier this year I told I have Raynauds and they think it's primary. Last winter my fingers were really painful and my toes went numb and had cramps if outside for too long. My consultant said this winter, if required, I could try a blood pressure tablet called Nifedipine. Has anyone on here

Raynauds medication & treatment

Have tried nifedipine, sildenafil and the iloprost infusion. None seem to manage my condition well. Any thoughts

Just been diagnosed with Raynaud's a couple of weeks ago
I have just been diagnosed and am very grateful to have found a forum which might offer support. I first realised I had a problem when my feet got icy cold and it took ages to warm them up again. Then realised my hands were affected too. Convinced my problems were brought on by stress. I got very worked

Feeling of stiffness and discomfort in left arm on amlodipine. Any similar experiences?
Hi all, I am a 37 year old female and I was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure. At first the GP thought that my suffering with covid was causing my blood pressure to remain high but after a month of consistent high readings, he started me on amlodipine on 15th March 2021. My feet became swollen

Nifedipine alternatives
I've been taking Nifedipine for 20 or more years and my current prescription is for 20mg MR (modified release) e.g. slowly, rather than a quick hit which is sometimes better. As I'm anti medicines, one prescription can sometimes last a year, as I only take them when its really cold. Although this year

VSA treatment options
I'm currently being treated for vasospastic angina using a combination of metoprolol and nifedipine at relatively low doses (50mg daily and 30mg daily respectively) but not noticing any improvement from previous treatment using verapamil only. I'm just wondering if anyone else is or was on a similar

Throbbing Pain From Raynaud’s
I have Raynaud’s. I’m on nifedipine and Sildenafil for circulation. Sometimes I experience throbbing pain in my fingers. Does anyone else go through this and if so what do you do for immediate pain relief?

Not sure whether I have primary or secondary Raynaud's?
I've recently been diagnosed with Raynaud's, but I have a couple of symptoms that don't seem to fit primary Raynaud's. My Raynaud's primarily affects my feet, and when I was diagnosed almost every toe had an ulcer. I was diagnosed with primary Raynaud's, but since then I've read that only people with

Nail loss with Raynauds
Hi, I have Raynaud's and suffer with chilblains, mainly on my fingers. They lead to swollen, itchy, 'sausage' fingers which lasts for a few days. In the past my fingers would return to normal between attacks but this year I've suffered from a number of fingernail infections, losing 3 nails over the last

Nifedipine
I take nifedipine to help with Raynaud's - which it does- but I get headaches. Reluctant to stop nifedipine because it helps. Does anyone else get headaches? and if so what do they take for headache? Thanks.

Update from appointment
Evening all, A little update from my post the other day I was so anxious about seeing this new rheumatologist! I took my notes which he scanned over (not sure he read) but I used them to help me explain everything he confirmed it is lupus and diagnosed the Raynaud’s - he was mentioning maybe a bit

Chilblain Lupus (Erythromyalgia?)
Hi, I am a 69 yr old Grandma living in TN, U.S.A. After many, many months of increasing unusual symptoms, I was finally diagnosed in June 2020 with Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD), based on the results of a skin biopsy on one of my toes. Although, I was told that the skin biopsy results were

Nifedipine does not dissolve in my body.
I take one Nifedipine 90MG ER a day for hypertension. The pills, mfg. by TWI, don't dissolve in my body. They have a very hard plastic-feeling coating and don't dissolve in water either. I did read that you could dissolve them in water and drink them. I put one into a glass of water last night and

Advice re Chronic Fissure for a 40-year-old Athlete
Hi, I'm new here. Thanks to everyone who's already posted. I first developed an anal fissure in 2.5 years ago. I kept thinking it would heal on its own. My surgeon told me continuing to row and bike wouldn't make it worse, but it definitely [i]seemed [/i]to prevent it from healing. I finally had surgery

Nonpharmacologic measures before Nifedipine
My Raynaud’s has worsened suddenly. Assuming it is Raynaud’s that is. It was first ‘diagnosed’ 2 years ago with no testing or investigation, just based on me saying I get numb hands at night. I very recently get toes and fingers feeling cold a lot of the time with some numbness and slight tingling.
