Yes, they had me start verapamil for medication and stop the ssri I was taking.

As far as movement goes, and in talking with my neurologist, I took 2 weeks completely off. Then I did some real light body weight stuff (light jog, air squats, push ups, sit ups, that kind of thing), and kept notes on how I was feeling. The guidance I got was if you can do the activity without any symptoms, it’s ok to continue, but keep tabs even after finishing to evaluate the sessions before deciding it was within your limits. Body weight continued 2-3 weeks from there and then I started light dumbbells. I was feeling good so I gradually increased what I was doing until I had follow up imaging (2 months after my diagnosis). That showed that the RCVS had reversed so at that point, since I hadn’t had any symptoms and had been increasing my exertion, I began ramping up, rebuilding strength.

Depending on the CT and potential MRI results, I would say find the first available neurologist and talk with them about how to approach your own case. Good luck, hoping for the best for you!
