3 symptoms in your body indicate that your blood vessels are "hardening"!

Blood vessels are all over our body, like highways, transporting blood and nutrients to the body, and are an indispensable part of the body's operation. Some people say that the health of blood vessels reflects the length of life. Nearly 3 million people die from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in my country each year, accounting for more than half of the total causes of death. After the onset of the disease, even if the patient survives, he or she may face risks such as loss of self-care ability and disability. Therefore, preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases has become the top priority for many people's health. Experts remind that the health of blood vessels can be seen by looking at whether there are these 3 changes in the body.

Cold limbs, soreness and weakness: The limbs are farthest from the heart. Once the blood vessels harden and the blood supply is blocked, it is like a traffic jam on a highway. The distal end cannot get enough blood supply, and the hands and feet will become cold. Early symptoms may be alleviated by adding clothes or rising temperatures, but as vascular problems worsen, patients may experience soreness, leg numbness, and other symptoms in addition to cold hands and feet. Severe cases may even cause necrosis of the lower limbs. For example, in winter, some people's hands and feet are always cold, and they cannot be warmed up no matter how hard they try. This may be the blood vessels sending out an alarm.

Chest pain during exercise: Due to the narrowing of the coronary arteries, blood circulation is restricted and the myocardial blood supply is insufficient, which can cause chest pain. Especially when doing strenuous activities or being emotionally excited, if you feel chest pain for no reason, you must pay attention, as this may be caused by coronary heart disease. Imagine that the heart is like a hardworking little motor, beating non-stop to supply blood to the body, but if the blood supply path becomes narrow, the heart will "protest" and send out pain signals.

Dizziness when turning the head: The aggravation of carotid artery stenosis will further affect the blood supply demand of the brain. At this time, the brain will strongly "protest", such as dizziness or even fainting when turning the head. Once this happens, be alert to serious conditions such as insufficient blood supply and cerebral infarction caused by vascular stenosis and occlusion. It is as if the brain, the "commander", suddenly does not get enough energy and becomes "dizzy".
