When Will Raynaud S Syndrome Be Cured After Stopping Beta Blockers?

How long after stopping beta blockers will it take the rynaud s syndrome to go away. I m in the weaning off of beta blockers process right now and the rynauds s in both the hands, legs & feet is very bothersome. I am a very healthy & active 71 year female, 5 6 tall, weight 125 pounds. I only take bp medication and xyzal for sinus.

Hi
dear
In Raynaud's disease, smaller arteries that supply blood to your skin narrow, limiting blood circulation to affected areas (vasospasm).
beta blockers are given to relieve this spasm of small arteries and to maintain the blood supply again
the cause of vasospasm is still under research ,though there are a number of causes yet many times the spasm is because of unknown cause

There is no cure to raynauds disease yet the symptoms can be controlled and you can live a perfectly normal life.
your physician will taper off the doses of beta blockers and you will be given a maintainence dose for long time to control your symptoms

stopping medicines totally brings back the symptoms again after few weeks.
beta blockers are very safe dyugs and can be continued for long time without any significant side effect.
thanks
