And tell me: do you have any clogged veins? What are you feeling? What part of Brazil or the world are you from?

Write down there! Let's go: Is there a clogged vein? Technically yes, but what the vast majority of people refer to as a clogged vein is actually a clogged artery.

Both veins, arteries and lymphatic vessels are part of our circulation. We need all 3 for our body to function properly. In addition to the pump, of course, our heart, which circulates the blood.

Arteries carry oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood from your heart throughout your body—to all your internal organs, from your fingertips to your toenail. And the veins return this blood, already with little oxygen, back to the heart. And the lymph vessels drain excess fluid, the lymph, from the tissues into the veins.

Knowing this, we can understand what will happen if an artery, a vein, or a lymphatic vessel becomes clogged or clogged. So let's start with the veins- When can a vein get clogged? Mainly in thrombosis.

And what are the symptoms of thrombosis? Symptoms will depend on where this vein is. If it's a deep vein in the leg, blocked by a clot - for example: you're taking birth control pills or you've had a major surgery.

. . it can cause a thrombosis in your leg, deep vein thrombosis.

And what will you feel if you have the clog in that vein? You will soon feel that there is something wrong with the leg. You will have pain in your calf, as if it were a muscle contracture.

But you will also have Swelling only in that leg that the vein has clogged. The skin may be redder or paler than usual And the superficial veins will become more engorged, thicker than usual If you have these symptoms - pain, swelling, more visible veins, there is a high chance you have thrombosis deep vein. And you have to see a doctor soon, because this clot that is in the leg vein can detach from there and fall into the lung, causing pulmonary embolism, which can be fatal.

From time to time we hear that someone famous has died of a pulmonary embolism. And if, in fact, you have a clogged artery, what will you feel? (As I said, the vast majority of people confuse veins with arteries) Again, it depends on where that artery is blocked.

Is it in the heart? Is it in the leg? Is it an artery that supplies the intestine or is it in the carotid?

Every place you will feel it in a way And we also have to know if it's something acute or chronic. Acute that happened suddenly. For example: you were watering your plants, everything was fine with you and suddenly you started to feel a very strong pain in your chest.

You had a heart attack, a thrombosis in a coronary artery, which supplies the heart muscle. This is something acute. This acute thrombosis can present in the brain, causing a stroke.

It can happen in your leg, causing intense pain, because there won't be blood with oxygen there, and your muscles will start to die, you won't feel a pulse, you can feel it in your arms, but in that leg you don't feel it. And also because the oxygenated blood won't get there, your leg will become cyanotic (bluish) and it will get colder, you will start to feel numbness - the paresthesias, saying that the nerves in that leg are not being fed with blood. Are these the acute symptoms of an arterial thrombosis?

This is a medical emergency. Because? Because you could lose your leg if you don't go quickly and the doctor manages to open that blocked artery.

If it's a heart attack and you don't get to the hospital quickly, you could fall hard, or, if you survive, you could have a weak heart, heart failure. And in the brain the same thing. If you go to the hospital right away, at the moment you started to feel the symptoms, the doctor can open this artery with medicine in the vein, or even, via catheterization, and you will have little or no sequel.

When it comes to a stroke, every minute counts. You can't just sit back and wait for symptoms to improve. If it's a stroke, they won't get better on their own.

Run to avoid sequels that can last for the rest of your life. But what if this clogging is chronic? It won't happen overnight like a clot does.

It gets clogged up slowly. . .

It's there with an obstruction greater than 70%, that is, blood is still flowing. Then the symptoms will be a little different. You may feel - Numbness and tingling when the blood flow does not reach the extremities in sufficient amounts, the person may have a feeling of numbness and tingling, or as if they have needles inside their skin.

Other symptoms: Cold , discolored hands and feet in that limb Reduced blood flow causes the hands and feet to feel much colder than the rest of the body. And also can change the color. All of a sudden you see your foot changing color—pale, purple, bluish… These are signs of lack of circulation.

If only one limb -- one leg is clogged -- the left leg may be hot, pinkish. Another Symptom Muscle Cramps When arterial blood does not reach the limb properly, painful cramps can result. Muscle atrophy If there is no blood to the place, the muscle can atrophy because it will not have the necessary nutrients .

But the main symptom is PAIN. It's not pain all the time like in acute obstruction. It's a pain that gets worse when you do activity.

You who have always walked a lot, without complaints and now walk about fifty meters and feel that tiredness in your legs, fatigue, you have to stop. What we call intermittent claudication. This is the main symptom that the oxygenated blood is not getting there.

Intermittent claudication. When you stop, it gets better. When you walk, it hurts again.

These are the symptoms of arterial blockage in the leg or arms. And in the heart? How will you feel if you are chronically obstructed?

Angina - What is angina? It's that chest pain or discomfort. Stable angina is angina where you strain and start to experience chest pain.

It is the classic angina of a person who has chronic obstruction. He felt chest pain, and used an isordil-type vasodilator and it got better. Look- you can't take isordil or sustrate for those who took viagra or cialis, you see.

Dies! And just an alert, sexual importance could be warning you that blood is not getting to your organ, so it would enter here too. .

. And, at the other extreme, we have the unstable, which is the most serious, when the pain happens even at rest. This is telling me that the fatty plaque is about to rupture and cause a heart attack.

In that case, you have to go to the hospital. What if it's the carotid that is seriously clogged? You may have Altered brain functioning: memory loss and difficulty concentrating and mental confusion, dizziness.

. . From there you could see that clogged arteries are what people refer to as clogged veins.

What if it's the lymphatics that are clogged? There will be swelling or edema. It will cause fluid to accumulate in certain areas of the body.

Ah, I didn't mention varicose veins. . .

Why didn't I? Because varicose veins are not clogs, but dilated veins caused by a failure in the internal valves. The veins appear engorged and contorted.

And what to do to avoid the conditions I just talked about? 1- Do physical exercises. Get out of your chair, you were made to move!

e Exercise is very important for your heart and circulatory health. Low-impact exercises such as walking, cycling, swimming can also improve the flow caused by chronic blockages in the veins and arteries. 2- Put your feet up when you can.

Elevation of the legs helps with edema, swelling caused by the accumulation of excess fluid 3- If you smoke, stop smoking! Smoking is one of the worst things you can do for your health. Smoking causes impotence, inflames all your arteries and forms fatty plaques, increasing the chance of heart attack, stroke and dementia.

4- Lose weight! Excess weight raises your blood pressure, worsens blood sugar, inflames, puts a strain on the heart, kidneys, joints, and venous system, increasing the risk of thrombosis. In addition to increasing fat in the liver.

5- Eat healthy things - lots of fruits and vegetables, fiber, whole grains, olive oil and little red meat and processed foods. And of course, if you have poor circulation, see a doctor and follow his advice! Did you like the video?
