Medical experts warn that the accumulation of atherosclerotic plaques in blood vessels poses a serious threat to health.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to the Telegram channel “Blog about health”.
It is noted that the above-mentioned deposits worsen the condition of the vascular walls, reduce blood conductivity and can become a catalyst for the development of diseases such as atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease and other dangerous pathologies.
The main symptoms that cannot be ignored
One of the first signs of narrowing of blood vessels due to plaques is discomfort in the chest area. Doctors emphasize that chest pain may be accompanied by shortness of breath – these symptoms occur due to deterioration of blood supply to the heart and lungs, which weakens their function. This condition may be a harbinger of more serious complications, such as myocardial infarction or heart failure.
“Pain in the chest may spread to the jaw, neck, shoulders or arms,” experts note.
This is a characteristic symptom of ischemia, which occurs due to insufficient oxygen supply to the heart tissue.
Signs of chronic fatigue and dizziness
Another alarming signal indicating a problem with blood vessels is constant fatigue and attacks of dizziness. These conditions may indicate that the body's organs and tissues are not receiving enough oxygen and nutrients, which is associated with poor circulation.
Doctors recommend not to delay a visit to a specialist when such symptoms appear, as timely diagnosis and treatment can significantly reduce the risks of serious complications associated with cardiovascular diseases.
Managing risk factors such as high cholesterol, smoking, insufficient physical activity and poor nutrition is an important step in preventing atherosclerosis and maintaining vascular health.
