Raynaud's disease related to my constant headaches?I have primary Raynaud's disease. And I've only been diagnosed with it since this past January though I've been feeling the symptoms for a few months before then (due to my being in Italy and not being able to get proper care). But anyways, if you don't know what Raynaud's is, it's basically a vascular disease that when you're exposed to stresses--stresses being extreme cold, smoke, plain mental stress, and sometimes caffeine--the blood vessels in some of your extremities overreact and constrict. I know that migraines are a similar thing going on, but in your head. I've read some sites that have connected migraines to Raynaud's. Does anyone else experience any of this? Do you think it is feasible for me to make this connection? I've never had headaches like this until I started experiencing the Raynaud's symptoms.

"During a Raynaud's attack, these arteries narrow, limiting blood circulation to affected areas." - Mayo Clinic
Since this is the same theorized cause for a migraine (constriction of arteries, limiting blood flow), it is entirely possible that it is your condition that is causing the headaches.

I have Raynaud's Syndrome. I was diagnosed 7 years ago. I have migraines also & my doc told me that they could be related.
