Bad Circulation - Am I A Victim?
There are millions of people around
the globe taking treatment for bad circulation, and there are many others who
suffer from bad circulation, but not aware of that. Most people ignore the
symptoms or take it lightly and hence fail to diagnose it in time. When the
person dies all of a sudden, then only others realize that he/she was suffering
from bad circulation. This is why bad circulation is sometimes referred as a
silent killer.
Bad circulation, in medical terminology Peripheral Vascular Disease PVD, is a
medical condition which is somewhat similar to carotid artery disease and
coronary artery disease. Bad circulation is caused when fatty deposits are
accumulated in the inner linings of the artery wall. This accumulation results
in the blockage of blood circulation. Bad circulation in arteries leads to the
kidneys, arms, hand, legs, and feet. Most people who suffer from bad circulation
may have fatty deposits in the arteries of brain and heart. This can cause the
death of the patient from heart attack and stroke.
Bad circulation is considered as a serious condition and can result in heart
attacks, loss of limbs, stroke, and in many cases even death. However if found
in the early stages, bad circulation may be prevented or treated in the early
stages with meditation, drug treatment, surgery, life style changes, or mostly a
combination of all these treatments.
Some of the main symptoms of bad circulation are legs and or feet falling to
sleep, cramping of the buttocks, legs, or feet, pain in the legs, swelling of
the legs, tired aching feet; and very low temperature in your hands, arms, legs,
or feet. If you feel that you have some or most of the symptoms then you may
have been suffering from bad circulation. It is better to visit your family
doctor and take a complete check up. Bad circulation can be diagnosed by a
physical examination, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging angiography MRA,
and X-ray angiography.
Some lifestyle changes which can help you to lower your risk include controlling
diabetes, quit smoking, controlling blood pressure, and consuming low
cholesterol diet. Bad circulation can be prevented to some extend by taking
healthy fat free diet and regular exercises.
All we have to do is take a good look at the lifestyle we are living and it
should be quite obvious to everyone why this is happening. First of all most
people do not get enough exercise which is a crucial factor in allowing our
blood to circulate properly. Bad circulation can lead to heart attack and
strokes and if that is not enough all the fast food and fatty foods most people
eat, only add to the problem.
