About Circulatory problems
Circulatory problems, also known as poor circulation, occur when there is reduced blood flow to certain parts of the body. The circulatory system is vital in delivering nutrients and oxygen throughout the body.
Poor circulation is often the result of underlying health issues, which typically require addressing to treat the circulatory problems themselves.
Common symptoms of circulatory problems include numbness, a tingling sensation, muscle cramps, and a stinging or throbbing pain in the limbs. Additional symptoms may also be present.
Circulatory problems can have various underlying causes, and their diagnosis often involves conducting a range of physical examinations. The conditions that can contribute to poor circulation include blood clots, peripheral artery disease (PAD) causing arterial narrowing, diabetes leading to poor blood circulation and cramping, varicose veins resulting from valve failure, Raynaud’s disease involving narrowing of small arteries in the feet and hands, and obesity, which can contribute to conditions like varicose veins and blood vessel problems.
