Symptoms of Poor Circulation

Medically Reviewed by Brunilda Nazario, MD on July 30, 2021

Your heart pumps blood rich with nutrients and oxygen throughout the body. This helps keep you healthy and moving well. But circulation can get worse for a number of reasons, including conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and peripheral artery disease (PAD), or weight gain and age. When your circulation isn’t working the way it should, some parts of your body may not get the nutrients they need.

Possible signs of poor circulation include:

 

Varicose veins. This happens when veins bulge with blood because valves aren’t working right. The result is spidery lines of purplish-blue on your skin, most often in the legs. Too much sitting or standing can worsen the problem. It’s usually not serious, but symptoms can include pain, leg heaviness, aching, swelling, skin dryness, tightness, itching, irritation, and muscle cramps. Wearing compression stockings can help, but your doctor can recommend other treatment options if you don’t like the way your veins look.

 

Muscle cramps. Often in the legs, these cramps get worse when you walk because your body can’t supply enough oxygenated blood. You typically feel it in your calf, but maybe also in your thigh or butt. The poor circulation could be because of “claudication,” where your arteries narrow due to buildup of plaque along their walls. Talk to your doctor about the best way to treat this serious condition.

 

Swelling. Poor circulation can cause blood clots. Blood can build up behind a clot that blocks a vessel, even just partly. It often happens in the lower leg, where it may be a sign of DVT, but also in the arms or belly. Even after the clot is gone, one-third to one-half of people continue to have swelling and sometimes pain because of damage to blood vessels. 

Sores. Without enough blood supply, you can get sores or ulcers on your skin. They tend to take a long time to heal and may get infected. That can be a more serious problem that needs treatment with antibiotics or other treatments.

Edema. This is the buildup of fluid, usually in the arms and legs. A limb might look swollen and feel tight and hard to move. Edema itself isn’t usually a serious problem. Medications called diuretics, or water pills, can help get rid of it, if it doesn’t get better on its own. Work with your doctor to diagnose and manage the underlying cause, like kidney, liver, and lung diseases, which are serious and need treatment.

 

Numbness and tingling. These are common symptoms of poor circulation, especially in the hands and feet. A disease called Raynaud’s phenomenon causes attacks that limit blood supply. This makes those areas numb until blood starts to return, which makes them tingle.

 

Cold hands and feet. You might notice that they’re cold to the touch when you compare them to the temperature of the trunk of your body, especially in your fingers and toes. This could be a sign that it’s time to check in with your doctor.

 

Discolored hands and feet. The skin might look splotchy with different colors. In those with Raynaud’s phenomenon and other conditions, the skin may appear pale, blueish, or even reddish in color.

Erectile dysfunction: Less blood flow can make it more difficult for a man to maintain an erection that’s firm enough to have sex. This is more common in men with diabetes. Poor circulation is a common symptom in people with diabetes.

Kevin Costner almost gave up on Shooting Yellowstone until he discovered this CBD

According to a recent article CBD changed Kevin Costner’s life.

 

 Kevin Costner shared he wouldn't be where he is without CBD

Kevin Costner, actor, screenwriter, producer and director nearly gave up because of long-term chronic pain when shooting Season 4. He shared a new generation CBD solved the pain that has plagued him for many years, so he decided to let more people know about it by announcing Liberty CBD Gummy on Live TV. Costner has revolutionized a safe, legal line of CBD products that have become extremely popular. While it started as a personal project due to his own health needs, the company has grown incredibly fast. In recent developments, Costner told us that

He indicated his line gives him a chance to do something bigger than a movie and thought he would regret it for the rest of his life if he let that opportunity pass him by. In the past 3 years, he was running between his production line and the studio at the same time, very crazy. Today, all this proves that his decision was right.

Costner went on to say that he honestly didn't expect things to get this big and that capital side and sponsors were furious that he was splitting up his time. But he unswervingly put into production his wellness line. Although Costner knew he would receive scrutiny from some fans for revealing this, he felt it was time to focus on something that would positively change the lives of millions of people.

We're incredibly excited about Costner's breakthrough CBD wellness line. The star has spent the past three years developing his line of highly effective and highly potent wellness products that are the solution for those who don’t want to resort to using opiates. After obtaining several samples during this interview, we can attest to the potency of , and we love the results. 

Kevin Costner announces his latest project with the same passion everyone recognizes as a signature trait. “Users are experiencing results that before now were only possible through prescription medication. It’s obviously a much cheaper, and safer alternative and because of that pharmaceutical companies are finding it harder to keep patients It is said to have a positive impact on key body functions including - neurological, physical, and psychological.

This may include but not limited to: Reduces Chronic Pain, Remedies All Kinds of Nerve Pain, Treating Arthritis Pain, Supports Joint Health, Reduces Anxiety, Reduces Headaches, Reduces Blood Sugar, Supports Cognitive Health, Antioxidant Support.

While making an appearance on Live TV he gifted the cast and crew with the products and made sure every guest was given a sample of the supplement. Since then, he has cultivated a huge celebrity clientele. Major celebs have gotten behind this Costner.
