Circulatory problems do not start in a day. In other words, the heart could be called a very patient organ, which can take years of abuse and when it can’t take it anymore, it breaks out with early symptoms.

First of all, we must remember that poor circulation is the result of certain lifestyle choices that we make that are detrimental to our health. Added to these are factors such as an unbalanced diet and lack of physical exercise. All these factors give rise to fatty deposits on the arterial walls, which when hardened are called plaques. These plaques then block or create obstructions to the flow of blood to and from the heart.

Plates take a long time to form; For this reason, we find circulatory problems that affect the elderly more frequently than children. Our eating habits also add to an unhealthy buildup of cholesterol that can increase blood viscosity, again creating abnormalities in the smooth flow through the arteries and veins.

Since the circulatory system covers our entire body, problems can also manifest in many ways. For example,

Brain – Our brain receives 20% of the blood that circulates in our body. With a drop in flow, our brain works suboptimally, resulting in a feeling of lethargy, memory loss, lack of mental clarity, etc. Frequent, unexplained headaches and sudden attacks of dizziness are also considered symptoms of poor blood circulation in the brain.

Heart: When poor blood circulation affects the heart, the symptoms would be chest pain, high blood pressure, and increased cholesterol level. Difficulty doing any common task, such as climbing stairs, walking a short distance, can make you very tired and short of breath.

Liver. When you suffer from a lack of appetite or experience sudden weight loss and your skin looks dull, it is quite possible that your liver is becoming “sluggish” and these are the first symptoms of poor blood circulation in the liver.

Kidneys: This organ plays an important role in regulating and controlling our blood pressure as well as removing waste and excess water from our body. When poor blood circulation affects the kidneys, we notice swollen hands, feet and ankles, increased blood pressure, disturbed heartbeat and feel tired all the time.

Tips: Poor blood circulation can have a serious impact on our arms and legs. We may experience sudden numbness in our hands, feet, and fingers, or suffer from painful leg cramps. Symptoms of serious blood circulation problems can be varicose veins or a condition called cyanosis, which is when part of our skin turns blue or black due to a lack of adequate oxygen to the affected tissues.

Sex Drive: Poor blood circulation can also affect our reproductive organs. The symptoms are lack of sexual desire and fatigue. Symptoms would also include lack of vitality. Severe blood circulation problems can also make one impotent.
