Plaques (atheroma) that accumulate in blood vessels, which worsens the condition of their walls, as well as blood conductivity, contribute to the development of atherosclerosis and other dangerous pathologies.
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide and should be addressed as early as possible. One of the main cardiopathologies - ischemic heart disease - arises in connection with the appearance and reproduction in vessels and arteries of atheroma, plaques formed from excess cholesterol, calcium, and other substances.
Some symptoms may indicate that the blood vessels are clogged with plaques, reports a number of publications.
In particular, you should not ignore pain in the chest and confused breathing - these symptoms occur due to the deterioration of blood supply to the heart and lungs, weakening of their function.
"With chest pain, discomfort may also appear in the area of the jaw, neck, shoulders or hands," the doctors note.
Constant fatigue, bouts of dizziness are another signal of a problem. If the blood vessels feeding the heart are clogged with plaque, it receives less blood and less nutrients. As a result of lack of nutrition, the heart muscle begins to cope worse with pumping blood and oxygen throughout the body. Lack of oxygen affects the feeling of fatigue.
In addition, plaque-clogged blood vessels indicate arrhythmia - an irregular heartbeat. A person may feel that the heart beats more often or, on the contrary, more slowly, or suddenly begins to beat in a state of rest.
