Blood vessels are located in all parts of the body, and their function is to transport blood, nutrients and oxygen, and to expel carbon dioxide. Once the blood vessel is narrowed or blocked, it will cause ischemia and hypoxia in the corresponding organs, resulting in damage to organ function and even life-threatening. Thrombosis is a high risk factor for inducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so thrombosis should be actively avoided.

What are the symptoms of the body after the blood vessel is blocked?

1. Memory decline

There are many reasons for memory decline, such as lack of sleep, heavy burdens Stress, fatigue, etc. However, it may also be cerebrovascular disease. Due to stenosis or blockage of cerebral blood vessels, the brain tissue cannot get enough blood supply, resulting in memory loss, accompanied by blurred vision, headache, dizziness, insomnia and dreaminess.

2. Leg pain

The function of the lower extremity blood vessels is to provide blood and blood to the legs. oxygen. Once the blood vessels of the lower extremities are blocked, it will affect the blood circulation of the legs, resulting in numbness and pain in the legs.

3, chest tightness

After cardiovascular stenosis or blockage, the blood flow to the heart is reduced, which can easily lead to myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, which can lead to increased heart rate and chest tightness or chest pain.

4. Limb numbness

Due to the formation of thrombus in the blood vessel, the blood vessel gradually narrows. The limbs do not get enough blood supply, resulting in numbness or weakness in the limbs.

How to maintain vascular health?

1. Keep exercising

Sitting, standing for a long time, lack of exercise, etc., can slow down The speed of blood circulation increases the viscosity of the blood, so that some substances in the blood accumulate on the blood vessel wall, and over time, plaques are formed, resulting in stenosis or blockage of the blood vessels. Therefore, you should exercise more, such as cycling, tai chi or jogging, swimming, etc. Each exercise should not be less than 30 minutes, 4 to 5 times a week, which can speed up blood circulation, improve vascular exercise capacity, and delay vascular aging.

2. Adequate sleep

The process of sleep at night is a period of time for each organ to repair However, staying up late will make the brain overexcited, disturb the balance of hormones, cause abnormal contraction of blood vessels, and easily generate blood clots. Therefore, I refuse to stay up late, no matter how busy I am, I must fall asleep before 11 pm, even if I get up early the next day and get busy again.

3. Add more water

The water content in the blood reaches about 70%. Water can reduce the metabolic rate, increase blood viscosity, and affect the health of blood vessels. Therefore, you should remind yourself to drink more water, and the amount of water you drink a day should not be less than 2000 ml. If you don’t like to drink plain boiled water, you might as well add Huai chrysanthemum to the water, which contains flavonoids, which are antioxidants, which can protect blood vessels and avoid oxidative damage; Huai chrysanthemum also contains choline, which can promote fat and cholesterol Metabolism, avoiding blood viscosity and preventing thrombosis; also contains selenium, which can help strengthen blood vessels and maintain smooth blood circulation.

Message from the doctor

vascular health is healthy foundation, so a healthy lifestyle should be fostered. Strictly control the intake of salt and refined sugar, which should not exceed 6 grams and 25 grams respectively; stay away from high cholesterol foods, including animal offal, fat and crab roe, etc.; focus on eating fresh vegetables and fruits, increase the proportion of coarse grains, and eat 2-3 times a week Sub-deep sea fish. Maintain regular work and rest and a positive and optimistic attitude towards life, and eliminate negative emotions in time; maintain moderate exercise and actively control weight.
