Is Poor Circulation Stealing Your Quality of Life?

Is Poor Circulation Stealing Your Quality of Life?

You know that tingling feeling in your legs when you’ve been sitting too long? For some people, that sensation never really goes away.
Poor circulation is a warning sign your body is trying to send you.
If blood in your body cannot flow in the right way, your body can suffer some severe complications.

  • Have you realized that you can no longer walk for long distances?
  • Do you happen to notice that by the middle of the day, your legs tend to feel heavier?

These may not only be symptoms of aging. They can also be clear signs that your blood vessels and arteries (also known as the vascular system) are just not in good health.
Ignoring the signs won’t make them go away.

What Does Poor Circulation Actually Feel Like?

For everyone, poor circulation looks different. However, the symptoms become quite obvious once you know the signs:

  • Numbness in feet and legs, like they’re gone, but then they come back
  • Leg cramps that force you to stop moving or even wake you up at night
  • Even in warm temperatures, you can feel that your lower extremities like your legs and feet are cold
  • Wounds on your feet or ankles that heal really slowly
  • Discoloration of the skin that is a pale, bluish, or strangely reddish hue.

All of these symptoms may at first seem trivial. And they are, to some extent. A little discomfort and fatigue are a normal part of life. But it will begin to add up.
Over time, those little parts of life will make every day more and more challenging. Going grocery shopping, for example, or playing with your grandchildren, will start to feel really hard.

The Unseen Effects on Your Daily Life

If circulation problems are not treated, they can change your daily routine.
You will begin to organize your day based on your symptoms rather than on the things you need to accomplish for the day.

  • You will walk less, even if it is a walk you enjoy
  • You may start avoiding stairs because of the way your legs feel
  • You may even turn down social events because you do not feel like your legs can move the way you need them to

There are potential serious risks related to poor circulation and conditions like PAD.
Aspects like quality of life can be negatively impacted by events like an increased risk of heart problems, strokes and even limb amputations.
Changes in your quality of life are not just declining, but fundamentally changing as well.

Why Specialized Vascular Care Makes the Difference

Not all circulation problems are the same. They don’t all respond to the same treatments.
This is where specialized vascular care comes in.
We at the Heart Vascular & Leg Center Focus on PAD and Critical Limb Ischemia, and those conditions are the very problem that holds your mobility and independence at risk.
The center of our approach is on minimally invasive procedures that restore blood flow with no major surgery.
This means you get to your feet faster and with less recovery time than with other long-term procedures while also being offered better outcomes.
We keep your quality of life in mind, so if other providers opt for more aggressive options, we consider those alternatives.
