Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There is no cure for reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome, calcium channel blockers are given to alleviate it, but it is not a cure. However the good news is that after the acute onset it improves spontaneously over the course of the following weeks. So if the initial consequences like hemorrhages or ischemic stroke are not severe, things should gradually go back to normal and the only necessary measure would be to avoid precipitating factors such as medications and drugs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
