When the road is blocked, the traffic will be paralyzed; if the blood vessels are clogged, the body may suddenly "crash".
The patency of blood vessels determines whether each part of the body can get sufficient blood. Once organ ischemia occurs due to blockage, it is bound to cause serious complications and even sudden death.
In fact, there are signs that blood vessels are blocked or not blocked, just because people lack understanding of the disease, do not find it and then miss the best treatment opportunity.
Identify meaningful pain symptoms
We often say that " if there is no connection, it hurts". If there is pain of the following manifestations, it often indicates vascular obstruction.
- Sudden fatigue chest pain, relieved after rest
It is characterized by " static motion pain" or nighttime chest pain, which often indicates stenosis or obstruction of blood vessels supplying myocardium.
Once chest pain attacks frequently accompanied by unexplained fatigue, dizziness, nausea and vomiting are often the precursors of acute myocardial infarction.
It is suggested that active treatment should be carried out before cardiac vascular occlusion to prevent the occurrence of acute myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death.
- Limb pain with swelling and tenderness of limb muscles on the affected side
It may be suggested that limb vein occlusion should be avoided, and emergency medical treatment should be taken to prevent pulmonary embolism caused by pulmonary artery occlusion.
Pulmonary embolism is a disease with extremely high mortality rate, which is more likely to be missed and misdiagnosed than acute myocardial infarction, and is also a common cause of sudden death during long-distance travel.
In case of the above discomfort symptoms, preventive measures should be taken as soon as possible to prevent serious consequences.
- Active lower limb pain
Walking only a few hundred meters has to stop because of pain, which is medically called intermittent claudication.
This kind of manifestation suggests that the artery governing the lower limbs is blocked, and early treatment is recommended to prevent amputation due to limb necrosis caused by complete blockage.
Watch out for snoring at night.
Many people snore at night, accompanied by a long period of apnea, or medical apnea syndrome.
This kind of disease can induce cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, and can discount the therapeutic effects of hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, etc. and increase the mortality rate.
It is suggested that people who sleep and snore should undergo physical examination and be treated as soon as possible to eliminate adverse factors of cardiovascular diseases.
Be careful of limb edema
When blood vessels are not unobstructed, it may cause edema of the body. This kind of edema will generally change according to the patient's body position, especially the parts of the body that are prone to droop, such as the legs.
Generally speaking, edema caused by kidney disease is leg swelling, while edema caused by obstructed blood vessels usually starts from ankle.
Pay attention to fainting
Faint can be caused when cerebral vessels are not supplied with sufficient blood or when cerebral vessels are temporarily blocked.
Some data show that about 60% of fainting is caused by blood vessel blockage. Most of these syncope are accompanied by palpitations, which can also be used as one of the basis for judging whether syncope is related to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
If the patient faints with dyspnea or paleness, it may be myocardial ischemia or arrhythmia, and must be alerted and go to the hospital in time.
