Warning Signs of Clogged Arteries

When arteries become clogged, it’s known as atherosclerosis, and it can lead to serious health complications, including heart attack and stroke. It’s important to recognize the warning signs of clogged arteries early, so you can seek medical attention and prevent more serious conditions.

Angina is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when your heart muscle doesn’t get enough oxygen-rich blood. It may feel like pressure or squeezing in your chest. It can also spread to your shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back.

Shortness of breath can be a sign of clogged arteries. You may have difficulty catching your breath or feel like you’re suffocating. It may worsen when you exert yourself or when you lie down.

Fatigue or a feeling of exhaustion can be caused by a lack of oxygen-rich blood reaching your muscles. It may be worse when you exert yourself.

A rapid or irregular heartbeat can be a sign of clogged arteries. You may feel like your heart is pounding or racing for no reason.

Weakness or dizziness can be caused by a lack of oxygen-rich blood reaching your muscles and brain. You may feel lightheaded or faint, or have trouble standing up.

Leg pain can be a symptom of clogged arteries. Pain in your legs, calves, or buttocks may occur when you walk or exercise. It’s usually relieved by rest.

Fluid retention or swelling in your feet and ankles may be a sign of clogged arteries. Fluid may build up in your legs and cause them to swell.

If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek medical advice. Your doctor can order tests to check for clogged arteries and other health problems. Treatment can help reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke.
