Leg artery embolism symptom?

summary

There are arteries in all parts of the human body. The most familiar arterial thrombosis is the heart and cerebral vessels. Myocardial infarction can occur after thrombosis of the heart artery, and cerebral infarction can occur in cerebral vessels. The ischemic lesions of lower limbs will appear after thrombosis of lower limbs. In fact, ischemic lesions of the lower extremities are not necessarily thrombosis. There is also a long-term chronic arteriosclerosis obliterans, blood vessels produced an atherosclerotic plaque, and finally gradually block the lower extremity blood vessels. Now talk about the leg artery embolism symptoms?

Leg artery embolism symptom?

Cold hands and feet, often accompanied by numbness, may be the early manifestation of lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans. Muscle pain, spasm and fatigue appear after moving or walking for a certain distance. At this time, patients often need to stop moving or walk for a few minutes before they can continue to move and walk. This phenomenon is called "intermittent claudication" in medicine.

Rest pain, in rest time can also feel limb pain, numbness and paresthesia, especially at night. The skin color of toes, feet and legs is abnormal, pale, purplish, black, and even ulcers and necrosis.

Leg cramps, in addition to cold or calcium deficiency, may also be caused by arteriosclerosis, because when arteriosclerosis occurs, the leg blood circulation will be blocked, blood supply is reduced. If the blood flow is not smooth, the metabolites can not be taken away in time. When it reaches a certain concentration, it will stimulate muscle contraction and cause pain and cramps. In addition, blood flow is blocked, blood supply is reduced, local tissue ischemia and hypoxia, physiological and biochemical skills disorder, resulting in pain and cramps.

matters needing attention

The campaign has been intensified. Taking part in certain physical labor and sports activities is beneficial to exercise circulatory system function and adjust blood lipid metabolism. It can prevent blood viscosity and slow flow. However, violent activities are not recommended, and should be carried out step by step, with gentle sports activities as the main ones, such as walking and Taijiquan.
