Symptoms of blocked blood vessels in the lower legs

Calf blood vessel blockage is very harmful to health. We know that blood vessel blockage often causes relatively large harm and even has fatal risks. When patients have calf blockage, it will lead to weakened lower limb mobility, leg pain when walking, fear of walking for a long time, intermittent claudication, and the skin of the affected person will appear pale, causing ischemia. Patients often have various symptoms such as chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Symptoms of blocked blood vessels in the lower legs

1. Leg pain when walking. If there is blood vessel blockage in the lower limbs, the blood vessels in the lower limbs may become ischemic. Therefore, some people will experience leg pain when walking. The pain will subside after a short rest, but it will hurt again when they walk again. This is often called "intermittent claudication", which is one of the common symptoms of blood vessel blockage.

2. Pale skin, cracked nails and other blockages in the body's peripheral arteries will lead to obstruction of blood circulation throughout the body. The blood circulation in the limbs, which are farthest away from the heart, is the worst. There will be problems with blood supply, which will cause hair loss in the limbs, pale skin, and easily cracked nails.

3. Frequent chest tightness and shortness of breath are the most common symptoms of blood vessel blockage, so you need to be highly vigilant. If the blood vessels around the heart are blocked, the heart will not receive enough blood, resulting in uncomfortable symptoms such as chest tightness, palpitations and shortness of breath. This is a warning from the heart and should not be taken lightly.

4. Easy to feel sleepy, dizzy, and have poor memory. Blood vessel blockage can also lead to a decline in memory, easy forgetfulness, and easy sleepiness during the day and dizziness at work. This is because when the human body's blood vessels are blocked, the blood supply to the brain will be insufficient, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply, which in turn causes dizziness and drowsiness.

5. Sudden numbness or weakness in one side of the hand or foot. When the blood vessels in the limbs are blocked, the hands and feet will suddenly experience unilateral numbness or weakness. Because the blood vessels in the hands and feet are blocked, it will cause temporary poor blood circulation in the hands and feet, which may cause numbness or weakness in the hands and feet.
