Is Raynaud’s syndrome a serious illness ?
Raynaud’s syndrome by itself isn’t a serious illness; Primary Raynaud called Raynaud’s disease, and it’s less severe than the secondary type which could be a symptom for other conditions. You can simply live with it; usually all you need is to keep your hands and feed warm and everything will be OK .
After all, if you don’t, warm yourself well or if you have a severe condition, in some rare cases the loss of blood flow might cause ulcers or tissue death, but normally, Raynaud’s is not a dangerous problem, it’s just painful and in some cases could be frustrating or embarrassing.
There is a secondary type of Raynaud’s Syndrome; it could be -along with other symptoms- a sign of some hidden health issues, so it might be a more serious case .
It’s worth mentioning that Raynaud’s syndrome is more common than you think. 4-5% of the world population has it, and in some countries it could reach 10%. This is a huge number, but in most cases people are unaware of the condition; they just live with it as it is, it’s the normal thing.
