4 warning signs of artery blockage

The four surprising signs below can indicate the risk of clogged arteries causing coronary heart disease. We need to recognize early to have ways to prevent and change our lifestyle appropriately to protect a healthy heart.

Erectile dysfunction

Men have a warning system for coronary heart disease. When erections become difficult or impossible to achieve, it can be a sign of blocked arteries in the pelvis, a precursor to a heart attack.

On average, coronary artery disease appears after 3 to 5 years of erectile dysfunction. Therefore, it is necessary to visit a doctor to treat the root cause.

Foods that help clear the veins include tea, coffee (in moderation), green vegetables, fish (sardines, mackerel, anchovies, salmon and herring) and avoiding carbonated drinks.

Baldness

In a recent meta-analysis of nearly 37,000 men, severe male pattern baldness accurately predicted the risk of coronary heart disease at all ages.

In a separate study of more than 7,000 people (including more than 4,000 women), moderate to severe baldness doubled the risk of death from heart disease in both men and women. Be aware of the subtle warning signs of heart trouble.

Ear folds

One of the strange signs is the presence of an earlobe crease (specifically a crease in the ear that runs diagonally from the edge of the ear to the lower edge of the earlobe) which has been shown in medical research reports as a hidden sign of coronary heart disease for decades.

Ear creases may indicate poor circulation, including to the arteries in the heart. While some medical experts believe that creases are just a general sign of aging, in 2016, researchers used the most sophisticated CT scan yet to measure cardiovascular risk and found that ear creases predicted heart disease even after the researchers took into account other risk factors like age and smoking.

Calf pain

Atherosclerosis can clog the arteries in the legs, especially in smokers, before coronary heart disease is diagnosed.

This symptom requires immediate medical attention and risk assessment. Doctors will check the pulses in the legs and measure leg blood pressure and blood flow to confirm the diagnosis of poor circulation.

It is important that heart disease is diagnosed as early as possible because there are many dietary and medical treatments that can help improve the condition. Eating more plant-based foods and less animal products, starting a walking regimen can help improve the condition. Calf pain can be completely cured within a few weeks and not recur for many years.

It is important to note that anyone with signs of coronary heart disease should be aware of their body's indicators including blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol. See a doctor to detect heart disease promptly.
