Hi all, was just wondering if anyone has been prescribed Nifedipine for raynauds phenomenom?

I have been told I can take it and my attacks are getting alot worse, I cant even grate a bit of cheese now without having an attack! lol

I am put off by the side effects though, I was told it could cause headaches, a red face and dizziness, has anyone experienced these while on them ?

Thanks
xx

I take Nifedipine for Raynaud's without any side effects and it provided a lot of relief.

It is a big help, particularly as it has progressed to my feet.

Give it a try!

Thanks to In A Pickle and Ethel.

Mines also affects my feet and starting to cause a bit of pain so think I'll go to the docs and give it a try, its reassuring that you haven't had any side effects Ethel, thanks.

I was wondering if there was any herbal remedy type things but I think I'll give Nifedipine a try and if I do get side effects move on to the remedy you suggested In A Pickle, thanks again.

10 million people in the UK is hardly rare and unheard of, considering only 3.5 million people suffer from asthma.

Thanks again to In a Pickle and Ethel.
