1, blood vessel blockage symptoms
1 sudden chest tightness, vigilance pulmonary embolism
If a long time sitting or bedridden, stand up activities, a sudden feeling of chest tightness, and even fainted, be alert to the possibility that the lower extremities of the venous thrombosis, blocking the lungs arteries caused by pulmonary embolism.
Pulmonary embolism is very dangerous and can lead to sudden death. You should go to the emergency room as soon as possible if you have any of the above symptoms.
2Chest pain, may be coronary heart disease, heart attack
Coronary arteries are the blood vessels supplying blood to the heart, if there is a blockage, narrowing, the blood supply to the heart will be limited, ischemia is severe, chest pain.
If the chest pain is persistent, it is more dangerous, which means that the coronary arteries have been completely blocked, the blood flow is completely interrupted, and lasts more than 15 to 20 minutes myocardial necrosis, that is, myocardial infarction.
3 one side of the limb weakness, when the stroke
Suddenly one side of the limb (including upper and lower limbs) weakness, suggesting that the cerebral arteries or carotid artery blockage. It may also be accompanied by slurred speech, distortion of one side of the mouth and eyes, blurred vision and other manifestations.
These symptoms, whether or not they are relieved, require prompt medical attention.
4Edema, change in urine output, suggesting renal artery blockage
Renal artery is responsible for the blood supply to the kidneys, if the plaque arises in the renal artery, it may reduce the arterial blood supply to the kidneys, and even affect renal function, resulting in fatigue, loss of appetite, change in urine output, and symptoms such as edema of the limbs.
The kidney is an important blood pressure regulating organ, renal artery stenosis can lead to hypertension, and this elevated blood pressure medication has poor control. With the kidney ischemia aggravated, its "detoxification" function will be impaired, and even develop into "kidney failure", need dialysis treatment.
5 walking leg pain, lower extremity arteries blocked
Limb arteries are responsible for the upper and lower extremity blood supply. When the blood vessels in the lower limbs are ischemic, you may have pain in your legs when you walk, which can be relieved after resting, and then again when you walk, which is called "intermittent claudication" in medical terms.
If the arterial blockage in the lower limbs is ignored and the disease progresses further, it may lead to severe ischemia in the lower limbs, with a drop in skin temperature, a decrease or disappearance of the dorsal and posterior tibial artery pulses, and pain in the lower limbs when not walking (i.e., resting pain).
Further development may result in broken limbs, wounds that fail to heal, or even tissue necrosis (gangrene), requiring amputation. Diabetic patients are more likely to develop lower limb lesions and must pay extra attention to them.
6 weakened pulse, low blood pressure, upper extremity artery blockage
Arteries in the upper extremities, if blocked, will produce one or both sides of the arterial pulsations weakened, arm blood pressure is lowered, the upper extremities will also be serious actively "steal" the brain's blood, leading to cerebral ischemia, resulting in dizziness, the symptoms of unsteady standing.
7 asymmetric edema of the lower extremities, lower extremity deep vein thrombosis
easy to occur in long-term bedridden, sedentary, dehydration, tumors and other patients, manifested in the lower extremity swelling, pain. If you find that the degree of edema in both feet or legs is not consistent, or one side is not swollen and the other is swollen, it is often a sign of DVT in the lower limbs.
Blood clots block the veins and cause poor blood flow, which in turn causes edema on the side of the limb where the clot is formed. There are also signs such as cold skin and susceptibility to ulcers. Once the thrombus in the veins of the lower limbs is dislodged, it will block the pulmonary artery.
6 details to build healthy blood vessels
If the blood is clean, it will not be easy to hide dirt, and the blood power will be normal, ensuring the health of blood vessels. On the contrary, it affects the normal flow of blood and accelerates the aging of blood vessels.
Good lifestyle can slow down the aging of blood vessels, life should pay attention to:
Diet to pay attention to
Eliminate high oil, high salt, high sugar and other "heavy" diet.
Attention to dietary balance, eat more fruits and vegetables, less greasy.
More steaming, less frying.
Quit smoking and limit alcohol
Smoking and alcohol abuse will make the blood viscosity more than 8 times higher than normal.
Keeping away from tobacco and alcohol is the key to healthy blood vessels, as well as staying away from secondhand smoke.
Don't stay up late
Staying up late tends to disrupt the biological clock, causing the body to secrete too much adrenaline and norepinephrine, which slows down blood flow and increases viscosity.
It is recommended to have a regular routine and go to bed before 11pm every night.
Exercise
Exercise enhances heart function, promotes blood circulation throughout the body, reduces blood viscosity, and metabolizes the "bad" substances in the blood.
Walking, jogging, hiking and other aerobic exercises are good choices.
Being in a good mood
Laughing releases stress and protects the endothelium of blood vessels, making blood circulation smoother. At the same time, a person's blood pressure is relatively stable when he or she is in a relaxed mood. Keep an optimistic, open-minded and cheerful mood as much as possible.
Regular medical checkups
Adopt the concept of regular medical checkups, pay attention to your weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, blood lipids, blood sugar and other indicators, and control them within the normal range, once the data is abnormal, you must consult a doctor in a timely manner, and actively intervene and treat the risk of minimization.
6 kinds of food to raise healthy blood vessels
Lipid regulator oats
Oats are rich in β-glucan and dietary fiber, which can inhibit the body's absorption of cholesterol, and have a very good effect on the regulation of blood lipids.
Recommended eating method:
Choose the most "simple" oats, i.e., large, whole, not finely chopped, and do not add any sugar, cream and other ingredients of the oats. Use it in porridge and add some nuts to make it nutritious and tasty.
Blood sugar stabilizer Pu-erh tea
Research has found that Pu-erh tea has a significant inhibition of diabetes-related biological enzymes, which helps stabilize blood sugar.
Recommended eating method:
Drink it between meals and use boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius when brewing. Drinking Pu-erh tea is best washed once, "tea washing" can be achieved "clean dust moist tea" purpose.
Blood pressure control agent celery
Celery is rich in potassium and apigenin, they are conducive to controlling blood pressure. A study published in the American Heart Association's journal Hypertension states that proper consumption of celery juice does help lower blood pressure.
Recommended eating method:
Cooking celery should be less oil and less salt, otherwise it will weaken the antihypertensive effect of celery. You can blanch the celery and then cold, or directly used for juice to drink.
Blood circulation catalyst black beans
Black beans are rich in anthocyanins, which can remove free radicals from the body, lower cholesterol and promote blood circulation.
Recommended eating method:
Anthocyanins are more stable in acidic conditions, and soaking in vinegar is conducive to the absorption of nutrients in black beans.
Before soaking, you need to fry the black beans first, let them cool and then pour in the vinegar so that it doesn't overflow the black beans, but you need to leave about 1/3 of the space so that the black beans don't swell and overflow.
Covered and soaked, when the black beans are fully expanded can be eaten. Black beans can also be used to make soy milk or soup.
Blood purifier kelp
Kelp is rich in dietary fiber and colloid, the colloid component of which binds harmful substances in the blood, such as heavy metals, and has the effect of detoxifying and purifying the blood.
Recommended eating method:
You can directly soak the kelp and make cold kelp shreds. People with colder and weaker bodies can eat some kelp stewed with tofu, which can neutralize the coolness of kelp after being heated at high temperature.
Thrombolytic agent natto
Research has confirmed that nattokinase in natto can "dissolve" blood clots, preventing myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction and other diseases.
Natto is also rich in soy isoflavones, zinc, calcium and vitamin K, not only can supplement estrogen, improve menopausal symptoms, but also prevent osteoporosis.
Recommended eating method:
In order to maintain the activity of nattokinase and other ingredients, natto can not be heated to eat, must be a cold state, fresh to eat.
In order to maintain its beneficial cardiovascular health characteristics, it cannot be added with a large amount of fat and is not recommended to be consumed with a large amount of animal foods.
2, clean up blood vessels how to do
Sunshine half an hour
Mild sunlight can promote the body's metabolism, reduce blood cholesterol levels, at the same time, can effectively promote the absorption of calcium, invigorating, health care effect is very good, you may wish to do 30 minutes of outdoor exercise every day, the exercise can promote vascular health
Reduce big fish and meat
Meals big fish and meat, high oil, high salt, high sugar diet, will make the blood vessels more and more fat, slowly clogging the blood vessels, in addition, reduce the salt intake by 1/3, can reduce the prevalence of heart disease by 40%, the daily salt intake should not exceed 5-6 grams.
Control body weight
Obese people tend to be relatively high in blood lipids, lipid deposition, will elevate the incidence of atherosclerosis, may wish to weigh once a day, once found to have gained weight, adjust the diet in a timely manner, to avoid overweight and obesity, can be effective in protecting the blood vessels, and in the morning every day, urine and faeces after the exhaustion of the weighing of the body weight is the most accurate.
Eat enough 5 colors of vegetables every day
The Chinese medicine has "five colors" into the "five organs" said, respectively: red into the heart, green into the liver, yellow into the spleen, white into the lungs, black into the kidney. Different colors of vegetables have different nutrients, eat enough 5 colors of vegetables every day, can effectively remove the waste in the blood vessels, protect blood vessels.
Afternoon eyes closed to recuperate
Insist on a daily nap 15-30 minutes, can effectively protect the heart health, reduce the incidence of heart disease by 30%, the use of this period of time in the afternoon, a small rest, can have a multi-functional adjustments to the blood circulation, the spirit of people doubled, the effect of health care is very good.
It's okay to knock on the calf
The calf part of the muscle strength, the relationship between the heart pumping function, you may often knead knock on the calf, can effectively promote blood circulation, and the specific kneading time is not a rule, nothing can be done when you can more kneading knock; in addition, sedentary people sit for one hour each, remember to get up to move 5-10 minutes, can effectively promote peripheral blood circulation.
