Raynaud’s syndrome or Vasospasms or Raynaud’s disease, also called Raynaud’s phenomenon or vasospastic attacks, is a condition affecting the circulatory system. Restricted or interrupted blood flow (vasospasms), to any organ(s) like fingers, toes, ears, brain, kidneys, heart, nose nipples etc.
A vasospasm is a lengthy constricting, narrowing or tightening in artery(s). This reduces blood flow through the artery, sending less oxygen than normal to nearby tissues.
Our arteries expand and contract their muscular walls regularly to help control the pressure of blood moving through them. Vasospasms last longer than a normal constriction and damage the layers of our artery walls.
Vasospasm is more likely to happen in endothelial (abnormal areas of blood vessels dysfunctional area). An estimated 20% of childbearing people may have vasospasm in their nipples during breastfeeding (breastfeeding).
What happens during a vasospasm?
During a vasospasm, smooth muscle overreacts to signals to constrict. Normally, these muscles have a temporary response to a signal to tighten an artery wall. During a vasospasm, the muscles constrict longer than they should.
Sometimes healthy people can also experience Raynaud’s syndrome. This form is called primary Raynaud’s; doctors aren’t entirely sure of its cause. Stress and cooler temperatures, GIT have been identified as risk factors for the phenomenon.
In my opinion (Dr Qaisar Ahmed) a leading cause of R Syndrome is the excess use of aluminum utensils, cooked sodium chloride (cocked in meals – on fire) and deficiency of Phosphorus, Graphite or plumbago, Serotonin, also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), {a monoamine neurotransmitter, it also acts as a hormone and carries messages between nerve cells in brain (central nervous system) and throughout your body (peripheral nervous system)}, calcium and lake of sunlight (sunbathe).
Primary Raynaud’s is considered less severe and generally affects young adults (under age 30). Secondary Raynaud’s generally affects older adults. Raynaud’s also appears to be more prevalent in women than in men.
How does a vasospasm affect the body?
Vasospasms happen in various arteries, but they happen more often in some arteries than others. These include heart and brain.
A vasospasm’s effects vary depending on where they happen, for example:
- Coronary vasospasms (Prinzmetal angina) can limit blood flow to your heart and cause a heart attack.
- A cerebral vasospasm can cause reduced blood flow leading to a cerebral infarct.
- Vasospasms in fingers and toes.
- A nipple vasospasm.
Symptoms and Causes
Vasospasm symptoms are different depending on where the vasospasm happens, for example:
Coronary (heart) vasospasms
These happen at rest, at night, in the early morning and in the cold. Researchers have linked them to anxiety and depression too.
Coronary vasospasm symptoms include:
- Cardiac arrest or aborted sudden cardiac death.
- Fainting.
- Stable angina.
- Acute coronary syndrome.
Cerebral (brain) vasospasms
Cerebral vasospasm symptoms include:
- Sudden, severe headache that gets worse within seconds.
- Drowsiness.
- Inability to move the limb or one side of the body.
- Migraines.
Finger or toe vasospasms
Symptoms of a vasospasm in finger or toe include:
- Coldness or numbness.
- Skin color changes.
- Throbbing or tingling.
Nipple vasospasms
Symptoms of nipple vasospasm in those who breastfeed include:
- Nipple pain.
- Color change in nipples from white to red to blue or purple.
What causes a vasospasm?
Vasospasms in various parts of our body have different causes, for example:
Cause of coronary vasospasm
Conditions and causes that are associated with coronary vasospasm include:
- Serotonin.
- Chemotherapy.
- Narcotics (cocaine, amphetamines or cannabis etc).
- Genetic mutation.
- Inflammation.
Cause of cerebral vasospasm
Cerebral vasospasm causes include:
- Ruptured brain aneurysm.
- Other causes of bleeding around brain.
- Exposure to vasoactive substances or allopathic medications.
- Subarachnoid blood clot.
Cause of vasospasm in fingers or toes
Causes of vasospasms in your fingers and toes include:
- Raynaud’s phenomenon.
- Scleroderma.
- Atherosclerosis.
- Blood clots.
Cause of vasospasm in nipples while breastfeeding
Nipple vasospasm causes include: 
- Raynaud’s phenomenon.
- Certain allopathic medicines.
- Breast surgery.
- Autoimmune disease.
- Exposure to cold.
- Unlatching baby.
- Topical allopathic antifungals and All-Purpose Nipple Ointment (APNO) cream.
- Poor latch or pump-induced nipple trauma.
- Tobacco use.
Symptoms
Raynaud’s syndrome or Vasospasms can affect various parts of the body, most commonly it develops in the fingers and toes.
Blood vessels in these areas will temporarily constrict or spasm, the skin changes color as blood flow is disrupted. When the vessels reopen, skin often flushes red.
Symptoms can differ between patients, but are likely to include one or more of the following:
- Discoloration of the fingers or toes (may turn pale, white, or even blue when exposed to the cold or stressful situations).
- Skin that feels cold to the touch (due to low blood circulation).
- Lost sensation in affected areas.
- Itching (temporally) of the affected area(s).
- Swelling and/or pain in the affected organ(s) when warmed, numbness or tingling.
- Sores on finger pads (serious cases).
- Gangrene in fingers leading to infection (rare but nonreversible with simple allopathic drugs, these patients need urgent Homeopathic treatment).
Secondary Raynaud’s is triggered by an underlying condition.
Several autoimmune and connective tissue diseases have a common association with secondary Raynaud’s disease, for example:
- Lupus,
- Scleroderma,
- CREST syndrome,
- Buerger’s disease,
- Sjogren’s syndrome,
- Rheumatoid arthritis,
- Occlusive vascular disease, like atherosclerosis,
- Polymyositis,
- Blood disorders,
- Pulmonary hypertension,
- Thyroid disorders.
Diagnosis
A provider’s physical exam can be a key part of making their diagnosis, but these tests are important, as well:
- Electrocardiogram (EKG).
- An angiogram after injecting medicine in your coronary artery to start a spasm.
- Positron emission tomography (PET).
- Computed tomography (CT).
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
- Echocardiogram.
Allopathic treatment for Raynaud’s syndrome
There is no cure for Raynaud’s disease in allopathy accept some precautions like wearing gloves or thicker socks… removing and adding them when necessary. 
Vasospasm treatments vary depending on where in the body the vasospasm is happening for example:
Coronary artery vasospasm allopathic treatment
Allopathic treatments for a coronary artery vasospasm include:
- Advising calcium channel blockers.
- Advising nitrates.
- Losing weight.
- Stopping the use of recreational drugs and tobacco products.
- Getting an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) if patient has ventricular tachycardia.
Cerebral vasospasm allopathic treatment
Cerebral vasospasm treatments include:
- Increasing fluid intake.
- Increasing blood pressure.
- Removing the trigger that’s causing vasospasms.
- Advise a vasodilator for example – verapamil orally or nimodipine intravenous/through vein; if needed, advise intra-arterial vasodilators.
Allopathic treatment for vasospasm in fingers or toes
Allopathic treatments for vasospasms in fingers or toes include:
- Wearing gloves, mittens and other warm clothes.
- Avoiding the use of tobacco products.
- Advising calcium channel blockers like felodipine or amlodipine.
- Advising surgery or a botulinum toxin injection.
Nipple vasospasm allopathic treatment
Allopathic treatments for nipple vasospasms include:
- Applying warmth and keeping nipples covered.
- Avoiding things that make blood vessels constrict, such as tobacco use.
- Advise nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker or a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) is sometimes necessary if vasospasms continue despite the above measures.
Side effects of allopathic treatment
Allopathic medicines for treating vasospasms may cause:
