Named five unusual harbingers of problems with the heart and blood vessels

 The surgeon described the numbness and poor appetite as non-obvious symptoms of heart problems.

Vascular surgeon Alan Davies told the Express about five symptoms that herald problems with the heart.

One of the most common unusual predictors of problems with the cardiovascular system, Davis called numbness of the limbs. Due to the narrowing of the blood vessels, it is more difficult to circulate, so the hands and feet become cold and numb, even when the person is generally warm. In particularly severe cases, the limbs may acquire a bluish or purple hue, the doctor explained.

As the next non-obvious symptom of developing cardiovascular pathology, Davis singled out problems with the digestive system, including poor appetite, frequent abdominal pain, diarrhea, and indigestion.

Also, according to Davis, due to impaired blood circulation, the hair bulbs on the legs are deprived of nutrients, which causes them to die, and, as a result, hair falls out.

In addition, leg ulcers are a sign of poor blood circulation, the surgeon emphasized. Usually, such wounds appear on the back of the leg, do not heal for a long time and can cause discomfort.

In conclusion, Davis called for caution in the case of memory problems and frequent dizziness, which appeared suddenly, because such problems occur due to chronic hypoxia of the brain due to poor blood circulation.
