Need some suggestions on low blood circulation

[Norris.greer]

Hi everyone, I have been going more serious relating to my heart problems these days as from few days I have been feeling somewhat uneasy and when I went to the doctor he diagnosed this as low blood circulation. I have been given some suggestions for this by the doc ……but would like to know any more things that I should OR should not do to avoid any complications.
Any help will be appreciated.

Are you able to walk? Just slowly - not power walking - but if you can do 10 to 15 minutes each day and work up to doing it twice a day, then 3 times a day. Light stretching, deep breathing and watching your diet will help.

Eat more fruits and veggies, cook healthier and watch your sodium intake. Home cooking will help with that. Canned, processed, frozen foods are loaded with sodium. And watch out for those frozen skinless boneless chicken breasts - they are pumped with junk and sodium.

Are you on blood thinners? Try reading up on the health benefits of various antioxidants and natural plaque cleansers, such as blueberries, etc. Then speak to your doctor about them and get his/her advice.

Also - a stationery bike can be used - slow and easy - for a few minutes a couple times a day.

Try not to sit too long without getting up and moving around a bit.

Discuss all this with your doctor.

Good luck and I hope you find some healthy recipes here that you can enjoy!

Low blood circulation …..could that be somewhat related to coronary artery ….probably I guess not …otherwise the doctor would have told you. But, anyways I would advice you to be more careful and would like you to search for better health resources (its good that we get most of the answers and sources here) that will help you to know important tips on keeping yourself fit and the pros and cons of the related issues. I would advice you to look at heart health information as I too was a little worried about my high blood pressure but I have got some suggestions to keep that in control from reliable sources

There are many meds that can help poor circulation. Calcium channel blockers can be very useful. The aforementioned omega 3 oils are worth a try, too. Magnesium helps dilate blood vessels and can promote circulation.
