Raynaud's Disease Support Group

A while ago the doctor confirmed my suspicions that I have reynauds disease, I don't really know what to expect from it, often my extremities drain of all colour and blood, I don't know if it can cause much damage when that happens. Yesterday though something which has happened before happened again, I don't know if it's linked to the reynauds or if it may happen again in other situations like going into the sea etc. and if it can cause real damage, affect heart, lungs, brain, etc. it was very extreme, probably the worst I've ever felt, except for the last time it happened.
I had had a long bath, I opened the window, because I don't like over heating, I had a glass of water, I didn't feel ill at all. When I got out of the bath I had to sit on the side because I felt dizzy, then suddenly my vision completely went, I felt really painfully dizzy, there was a loud buzzing in my ears, I collapsed onto the floor, I felt so sick, dizzy, confused, I thought I was dying, I couldn't stand up, I was sick a few times until there was nothing more to come up then felt better.
I hope someone can help, advise, shed some light?
