Raynaud’s Phenomenon Prevention
Although there is no way to prevent a person will develop this condition may reduce the number of episodes of vasospasm or even eliminated by avoiding situations that can trigger attacks.
To prevent vasospasm:
- Avoid unnecessary exposure to cold
at home, raise the thermostat a few degrees.
- when it’s chilly, wear a hat and gloves (mittens) to keep the heat as much as possible
- bundle up before going out in the cold rather than shelter once it is in a cold environment, thus ensuring that your arms and legs do not suffer a spasm of the temperature change
- leave your coat, mittens and hats in the section of the vegetables and fruits from the freezer or refrigerator
at home, use pot holders, mitts or towels to remove food from the refrigerator
- use a handle to grab a cup of cold drink
- stop smoking
