Customer Questions:
What are the signs of clogged jugular veins? How do I help myself?
Pharmacist's response:
Carotid artery disease occurs when fatty deposits (plaques) block the blood vessels that supply blood to the brain and head (carotid arteries). Blockage of this significant vessel dramatically increases the risk of stroke and is a medical emergency that occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted or severely reduced. A stroke deprives the brain of oxygen, and brain cells die rapidly within a few minutes of cutting off the fresh blood supply.
Carotid artery disease develops slowly. The first sign that you have the condition may be a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). A TIA is a temporary lack of blood flow to the brain. Treatment of carotid artery disease usually involves lifestyle changes, medications, and sometimes surgery.
Symptoms of clogged jugular veins
Carotid artery disease often causes no signs or symptoms in the early stages. As a result, the condition may go undetected until it is severe enough to deprive the brain of blood, resulting in a stroke or TIA.
