Clogged arteries can lead to serious health risks like high blood pressure and heart attacks. Plaque buildup narrows the arteries, reducing blood flow and potentially causing life-threatening events.
Early symptoms may include chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, nausea, and heart palpitations. Other warning signs include weakness or numbness on one side of the body, slurred speech, vision problems, leg pain, cold feet, and slow healing of foot injuries—often due to reduced blood flow.
These signs could indicate blockages in coronary, carotid, or peripheral arteries. Recognizing symptoms early allows for lifestyle changes, medications, or further medical evaluation to prevent complications.
Always consult your doctor if you notice these symptoms. Early action can save your life.
