Parents are prone to cardiovascular blockage when they are older, how can we tell if it is blocked?

Generally speaking, the blood vessels of the heart are called "coronary arteries" in medicine. In some cases, when the heart blood vessels are blocked, such as coronary artery stenosis of more than 50%, the patient may have symptoms of myocardial ischemia, and if this stenosis exceeds 75%, there is almost a high probability of symptoms of angina, such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, breathlessness, palpitations, radiating pain, sweating and other uncomfortable symptoms during physical activity, cold, and emotional excitement. If it takes more than 15 minutes, it may be a myocardial infarction, so if the above symptoms occur, you can consider whether the blood vessels in the heart are blocked.

The blood vessels in the head are blocked, and sometimes there are some aura symptoms, such as the symptoms related to transient ischemic attack, such as feeling sleepy and wanting to sleep, such as dizziness, head discomfort, and even some people will have symptoms of slurred speech, numbness of limbs, unfavorable limb movement, abnormal vision, and so on. At this time, if there are similar external symptoms in the body, you must pay attention to it and don't ignore it. In order to avoid that it is too late to find out the problem at the stage of cerebral infarction.

When there is a serious blockage of the peripheral blood vessels, there will be some symptoms, such as dizziness and discomfort due to severe blockage of the carotid artery, and even some cerebrovascular related symptoms. For the blockage of the peripheral limb arterial system, there is no abnormal manifestation when the lesion is not serious at first, and the most common symptom may be intermittent claudication at the stage when the lesion is more severe, for example, it can be manifested as coldness, soreness, fatigue, and even pain in the lower limbs after walking for a while, which may be relieved after rest.

However, to be honest, the blockage of peripheral blood vessels can be detected and paid attention to early, for example, an arterial color ultrasound can identify the lesion, and it is not troublesome, so it is recommended that some high-risk groups must do arterial color ultrasound. In short, for some serious blood vessel blockages, it is true that sometimes people will have some symptoms, such as the symptoms mentioned above.

Whether there are other symptoms, if there is a cardiovascular blockage, there will definitely be symptoms in terms of mobility, and there will be symptoms such as immobility.

If you often have chest tightness and chest pain, it is best to check it, it is likely to be this kind of problem, if so, do a blood test, the heart enzyme troponin will be significantly elevated.

If your parents have symptoms such as dizziness or tightness in the chest, numbness in the hands and feet, or shortness of breath, it is possible that the blood vessels are blocked.
