People believe a common misconception that clogged arteries are only a problem for the elderly. But in most cases, by the time we reach our 20s, our arteries become clogged. That’s why many people with this disease don’t realize what’s going on until it’s too late. It is very important to know the symptoms and be alert to visit the doctor in time.
Here is a list of the 7 most common symptoms of blocked arteries. Look at your risk factors and change your daily habits with your health in mind.
- Pain in the calf, thigh, and thigh
Leg pain during exercise such as walking can be a sign of a blocked artery. This means that your limbs are not receiving enough blood flow. Symptoms may include muscle pain and swelling in the legs (or hands). The location of the pain depends on the location of the thickened or narrowed artery.
- Chest pain
Chest pain (or angina) is the result of reduced blood flow to the heart. It can be felt as tightness, numbness, heaviness, pressure, or burning. People usually do not feel this symptom when they are resting, because it is caused by physical and emotional stress. In some cases, the blockage is so bad that angina is a sign of a heart attack.
