Blood vessels are like "highways" for material transportation in the human body, and blood cells are "vehicles" flying on the road. Only when they keep running at high speed can our various organs and tissues get enough materials and Energy supply to maintain efficient functional operation.
However, under the influence of various factors such as diet, work and rest, various vascular problems are common among modern people. The number of new vascular diseases such as cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction is showing an increasing trend year by year, which makes people Feeling worried.
However, there are usually traces of blood vessels before they age. Generally speaking, when the body shows these three signs, you should pay attention. This may be a sign that your blood vessels are getting older, and you need to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Conditioning.
1. Frequent cramps in the calf
The calf is the end of human blood circulation. After the arterial blood from the heart is transported through the vascular network, it will exchange materials through the capillaries of the legs, and then provide energy for leg activities.
In this process, the blood vessels throughout the abdomen and legs will be involved. Therefore, when the blood vessels in these locations are congested or aged, the blood supply to the legs will decrease.
When the calf is not supplied with oxygen, the nerves and muscles here will contract abnormally, followed by spasm and pain. This is one of the causes of cramps. Therefore, elderly people who are older and frequently experience cramp symptoms need to pay special attention to their vascular health.
2. Chest congestion
The heart, the core organ of blood circulation, is located inside the left chest cavity, and its periphery is wrapped with elastic myocardium and fibrous tissue.
However, if the cardiovascular or return blood vessels are blocked, the amount of blood returning to the heart will be inhibited. As a result, the heart itself will not be able to receive sufficient energy supply and enter a low-power operating state, which will cause heart discomfort and chest pain. Abnormal sensations such as stuffiness and congestion.
Decreased myocardial blood supply is the cause of many diseases, including but not limited to angina pectoris, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, etc. Therefore, friends who are at risk of this should not relax their vigilance.
3. Dizziness
The brain is the control center of human body activities and is also one of the organs with the largest oxygen consumption and energy demand in the human body. When there is a problem with the health of our blood vessels and the ability to supply energy and oxygen is reduced, the brain may become the first organ to experience feedback.
At this time, brain cells and nerve structures do not receive sufficient oxygen delivery, and their activity will drop a lot. Therefore, patients will feel mental fatigue, general weakness, daytime drowsiness and other physical discomforts.
If this situation lasts for too long, the patient is still at risk of worsening the condition, which may induce ischemic stroke or cranial nerve necrosis, which is very harmful to one's own health. Therefore, for friends who always feel that their brains are groggy, it is best to seek medical examination as soon as possible. Through MRI or CT examination, etc., the condition of the blood vessels in the brain can be checked, just in case.
In short, blood vessel health is very important to the human body. If necessary, in addition to taking medication for maintenance, you can also try to work more on diet, exercise, and work and rest patterns to achieve the results achieved through comprehensive care. Could be better.
