Customer Questions:
I have a diagnosed problem: partially blocked veins. What signs of blocked veins, and how can I help myself?
Pharmacist's response:
You may not even know if you have blocked or partially blocked veins. Because you can't feel a blocked artery, many people don't realize they have a blocked artery until they experience an emergency such as a heart attack. Fortunately, you can do a lot on your own - you can introduce some lifestyle changes and also use treatment, which usually significantly reduces the risk of clogged veins in general with appropriate approaches.
Clogged vessels are the most significant risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, so proactively solving the problem is essential.
This time let's talk mainly about arteries.
What causes a clogged artery?
Clogged arteries are usually caused by atherosclerosis. This condition occurs when fat, calcium, cholesterol, and other substances build up in your arteries, the blood vessels that carry blood around the body. When atherosclerosis occurs in your coronary arteries that send blood to the heart, it causes coronary artery disease. Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of coronary artery disease.
Signs of atherosclerosis (clogged arteries)
- Dizziness or weakness
- Heart palpitations or feelings of a fast or pounding heart
- Nausea or sweating
- Shortness of breath
Your doctor may also use tests that indicate signs of atherosclerosis, such as:
- Weak or absent pulse
- Scouting sound (bruit) in your artery
- Low blood pressure in one of the arms or legs
Detralex and venous disease
The drug Detralex is intended to treat symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency, lymphedema, and acute hemorrhoidal syndrome. Use the medicine, especially in case of symptoms of chronic vein disease. Dysfunction of the veins, especially in the extremities, is a common reason for a possible blockage of the veins, as blood collects in the damaged veins of the legs, which does not flow very well, which in turn leads to slow blood clotting. Any clot that forms can travel to the heart muscle or even further to the brain or other vital systems, depending on the size of the chunk.
To reduce the probability of clogging of the veins, it makes sense to think beforehand and take care of an appropriate diet with less cholesterol or take certain dietary supplements based on monacolin from red yeast rice. Food supplements of this type are a very sensible choice, especially for lower deviations in cholesterol levels.
