What can go wrong with clogged blood vessels? What causes clogged blood vessels?

When the arteries of the limbs are blocked, the main manifestations are coldness, pallor, numbness, pain, intermittent claudication, etc. When a blood vessel is severely blocked, gangrene of the limb can occur. When an splanchnic artery is occluded, there may be corresponding visceral manifestations such as renal artery occlusion, renal hypertension, nephron, or total renal avascular necrosis, and ultimately renal impairment.

When the arteries supplying blood to the brain are blocked, strokes and transient ischemic attacks can occur.

If deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities develops, sudden swelling, redness and swelling of the limbs, elevated temperatures, and superficial varicose veins may occur. If left untimely**, the venous thrombus may break off, travel in the direction of blood flow into the femoral vein, external iliac vein, common iliac vein, and inferior vena cava, and then return to the right atrium to pump blood through the right ventricle, leading to pulmonary embolism and ultimately respiratory and circulatory disorders. Thrombophlebitis may occur when superficial veins are occluded, such as local swelling, sclerosis, and cord-like changes in blood vessels.

Most of the components of blood are fixed, but since blood is responsible for transporting nutrients to the body, some components of blood are directly affected by people's daily diet. If people stick to a high-cholesterol and high-fat diet throughout the year, it can lead to hyperlipidemia. As the amount of fat particles in the blood increases, these fat particles may attach to the walls of blood vessels, forming a certain number of blood clots, causing blood vessel blockages.

For example, when a person reaches a certain age, blood vessels harden. When this arteriosclerosis progresses to a certain extent, it can cause a series of human vascular diseases, which may lead to complications such as blood vessel blockage.

Some strong external blows will exert greater pressure on the human body, which will directly lead to the deformation and blockage of human blood vessels. This kind of obstruction often directly affects the function of a certain organ in the human body and is more harmful. In daily life, participating in exercise can open up the capillaries of the body and promote smoother microcirculation.

If you don't exercise for a long time, there will be more and more waste in your blood vessels, forming plaques that will affect the blood in your capillaries**. Blood vessels must be prone to clogging.

Blockage of blood vessels can lead to myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, overeating, acute ischemia and hypoxia, and dyspnea; Most of the causes of blood vessel blockage are caused by atherosclerosis, and as we age, lipids in the blood will be deposited into the lining of the blood vessel wall, forming plaque, which will cause the lumen to narrow.

It can cause blood flow to slow down, cold limbs, lack of oxygen, dizziness, nausea, and loss of appetite, which may be caused by genetic factors or regular eating of fatty foods.

It will cause inability to breathe, and then it will also cause dizziness, nausea and vomiting, and will also cause weakness in the limbs, which is likely to be caused by eating some high-sugar, high-salt, and high-fat things regularly.

The danger of blood vessel blockage: Blood vessels are spread throughout the human body, and blood vessel blockage can cause serious consequences in any part of the body, threatening the life safety of patients. The most dangerous of these is blockage of arterial and cerebrovascular vessels.

If it is blocked by cerebral blood vessels, mild people will experience ischemia such as dizziness and tinnitus, and severe cases will cause serious diseases such as cerebral infarction and cerebral thrombosis. If it is blocked by a coronary artery, it may cause coronary heart disease, mood, angina, etc., leading to sudden death. In addition, blockages in blood vessels can occur in peripheral arteries.

For example, it can cause limb ischemia, intermittent claudication, local pain, numbness and other symptoms, and severely cause gangrene. In the eyes, small intestine, kidneys and other parts can cause retinopathy, intestinal wall necrosis, intestinal obstruction, kidney damage, etc.

Early signs of blood vessel blockage: When blood vessels are blocked, various organs of the body will have a series of symptoms such as blood ** and oxygen insufficiency, usually cerebral blood deficiency will lead to dizziness, headache, drowsiness, yawning one after another, and even fainting, coma, etc. Insufficient blood in the heart** may cause symptoms such as angina, chest sensitivity, palpitation, and difficulty breathing.

Blockage of blood vessels in the extremities can lead to cold legs, soreness and numbness when walking, and a weakened pulse in the feet. In addition, a sudden increase in blood pressure, unknown nosebleeds, etc., should also be alert to the possibility of cerebral vascular blockage. Common myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, etc. are the closure of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular vessels, and the regional tissues of the closed blood vessels are destroyed, resulting in related events.

Of course, cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction are both necrosis of organs and tissues. When blood vessels in the extremities are blocked, the patient does not have simple necrosis. Blockage of blood vessels in the lower extremities can lead to gangrene in the lower extremities, which in severe cases require amputation**.

When a blood vessel is blocked, tissue ischemia at the site of the blockage occurs, and even if there is no necrosis, functional impairment such as optic nerve blurring and double shadow that occurs after common ocular artery blockage or stenosis may occur. If the tissue at the site of the blockage is compensated by collateral branches, the functional impairment may be less severe, but the damage is severe, and the effects of the blockage and blockage may be magnified. When an artery in the lower extremity is blocked, the occlusion can cause injury, nonunion, nonunion, or delayed healing to distant tissues.

Leads to metabolic abnormalities in the function of related organs, and in severe cases, even leads to necrosis in the blood ** area. Metabolic abnormalities may lead to ** non-union, and a variety of conditions such as ischemic cardiomyopathy, abnormal brain function, and TIA may occur.

When blood vessels are blocked, abnormalities (such as decreased temperature angle such as heat stroke, decreased pain perception, etc.), peripheral neuropathy in diabetic patients, and paresthesias caused by gangrene of the lower limbs that are blocked are common. Of course, there are other changes, but they are all caused by blockage of blood vessels, severe people will die, and less severe people will affect their function. These are just common abnormalities after blood vessel blockage, and there are other changes, which the author will not list one by one, but they are all caused by blood vessel blockage.

The causes of vascular blockage are divided into arterial blockage and venous blockage, and most of the causes of arterial blockage are due to the damage of the vascular intima caused by the causes of arteriosclerosis, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, high blood sugar, overweight and smoking, resulting in subvascular intimal bleeding and thrombosis, cholesterol accumulation, inflammatory cell infiltration, and tissue proliferation and fibrosis. The main cause of venous blockage is blood clots, and in rare cases, it is caused by surrounding tissues, including tumors, squeezing the blood vessels and clogging them.

If the blockage occurs in the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular areas, it can lead to death in severe cases.

1. High blood pressure and diabetes. High blood pressure and diabetes are one of the main causes of blood vessel blockage, which is due to the body's blood pressure and blood sugar will cause blood vessels to become blocked. Patients with diabetes and high blood pressure should measure their blood sugar and blood pressure regularly to prevent blood sugar and blood pressure from rising.

2. Long-term smoking. According to studies, patients who smoke regularly have a 2 to 3 times higher probability of blood vessel blockage than ordinary people, because smoking will increase the blood viscosity in the blood vessels, and after the blood viscosity increases, it is very easy to block the blood vessels. Elderly friends must quit smoking in their daily lives to prevent blood vessel blockage.

3. Irregular life. The pace of life in modern society is very fast, there are many people who often stay up late, often staying up late will disrupt the biological clock, resulting in excessive secretion of adrenaline and epinephrine in the human body, so that the blood vessels constrict, blood flow slows down, which will lead to blood vessel blockage, we try not to stay up late in life and work, and develop a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early.

4. Less exercise. Regular inactivity will gradually increase the garbage in the blood vessels, forming atherosclerotic plaques, and eventually leading to blood vessel blockage, and long-term exercise will speed up blood circulation, so that more capillaries can be opened, which can effectively prevent blood vessel blockage.

The causes of clogged blood vessels are high blood pressure, diabetes, long-term smoking, irregular lifestyle, and little exercise. Blockage of blood vessels can lead to cerebral thrombosis, stroke, acute myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Most blood vessel blockages are caused by high blood pressure and high blood lipids, and cardiovascular blockages are caused by improper diet.

Blocked blood vessels can cause dizziness, headaches, and paralysis of the limbs.

1. Smoking cigarettes contain many harmful substances, and long-term smoking will not only affect lung health, but also cause cardiovascular blockage and increase the incidence of coronary heart disease. Therefore, it is necessary to quit smoking appropriately, reduce the harm of unfavorable factors, and better protect your own health. 2. Age factor With the increase of age, the physiological functions of the human body are gradually declining, once the metabolic function is abnormal, it will lead to excessive accumulation of waste in the body, increasing the probability of blood vessel blockage.

3. Dietary factors Improper diet can also cause blood vessel blockage, especially those who often eat high protein, high fat, and high calories, have a greater chance of suffering from this disease, and must pay special attention to make dietary adjustments to eliminate adverse harms.

Poor diet.

For people who often socialize outside, they often go out to eat, and almost all of them are big fish and meat. In addition, many restaurants use high oil, high salt, high sugar, and thick oil red sauce to make dishes. These eating habits can easily lead to more and more fat in the blood vessels, which can easily clog the blood vessels in the long run.

The effects of blockages on the body are comprehensive. If a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked, it can lead to the death of a blood vessel in the brain, which is often referred to as cerebral infarction. If the cerebral blood vessels are blocked, it will lead to the death of brain cells, mild lead to lacunar infarction, and severe lead to hemiplegia, coma and even sudden death.

Many people think that it is not too late to worry about blood vessels when they are old, but they don't know that the aging and blockage of blood vessels start when they are young, and they begin to accelerate after the age of 30. So why do good blood vessels clog?

Every part of the human body needs nutrition, and what does nutrition come from? Only by the stomach and intestines absorb nutrients into the bloodstream, the blood vessels transport the nutrients in the blood to all parts of the body. Blood vessels act like upper and lower sewer pipes:

The upper water pipes send good water to thousands of households, and the lower water pipes let the waste water flow away. Blood vessels are also divided into upper water pipes (arterial blood vessels), lower water pipes (venous blood vessels), and capillaries. Inside the water is oxygen, nutrients and other good things; Garbage such as carbon dioxide and metabolic waste is pulled into the water; Capillaries are the place where nutrients and garbage are exchanged.

The human body is a very complex "duct system", medically called "circulatory system", this duct system is composed of large and small blood vessels, according to the thickness, divided into large, medium, small and micro blood vessels. The total length of blood vessels in the whole body is 100,000 kilometers long, which can circle the earth two and a half times, of which capillaries are about 70,000 kilometers.

As the saying goes: people live blood vessels, and living blood vessels are soft and smooth. How strong are the blood vessels and how long they live! People are old mainly because the blood vessels are aging, and the aging blood vessels are blocked everywhere, and the blood flow cannot pass, which will cause a series of problems.

So what is it that clogs the blood vessels? It is plaque and blood clots.

Aging causes the function of organs throughout the body to gradually decline, which is called "degenerative disease" in medicine, and the degenerative disease of blood vessels is long plaque. Anyone, including people who do not have three highs, will have more or less plaque in their blood vessels as they age, and if you add a lot of eating and drinking and three highs, the plaque will grow earlier, faster, and more. If you eat well and eat a lot, you always have to find a place to put the nutrients such as fat that you can't consume, and the blood vessels are just empty, which is really a good place to stack fat, so the blood vessels will grow plaque.

The more and better you eat, the sooner, faster, and more plaques will grow, which is why more and more young people are getting heart attacks and cerebral infarctions. Once the plaque ruptures, these things will immediately enter the bloodstream to form thrombis and quickly block the blood vessels, which is why myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction are so acute and die so quickly. Of course, plaque itself can also block blood vessels, but it is not as fast and as powerful as a blood clot.

The consequences of blood vessel blockage are very serious, which will cause ischemia of tissues and organs, decrease function, and slowly necrosis, which is also the root cause of hypertension and diabetes complications! In fact, the root cause of complications can be known only from the name of the disease, "stalk", "plug", "plug", "narrow" and "block", each word is saying one thing - "block", if there is a blockage, it will be "here and there", either death or disability.

As we age, each of our blood vessels will age, but a healthy lifestyle is the best way to resist various diseases, so a healthy diet, regular life, moderate exercise, regular physical examination, early detection, early intervention, and early **.
