The Silent Warning Signs of Clogged Arteries

CHD or coronary heart diseases is a silent killer, as many people don't bother about the early signs of it. Isn't prevention better than cure? At least in this case, it can save people from dying, if early preventive steps are taken.
Four of the most common signs of clogged arteries that aren't as obvious as you'd expect.

 

 

1. Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

 If a male finds it hard to achieve an erection, then it may be a sign of clogged arteries in the pelvis area, which may lead to a heart attack if left untreated. According to the experts, there are typically 3 to 5 years between the start of ED and the development of CHD, which is loads of time to allow you to detect and fix your heart problems. If you or your partner are concerned about sexual performance, then it'd be a good idea to search for and treat the root causes of diseased arteries, instead of just popping a blue pill.

2. Baldness

In an in-depth study of close to 37,000 men, a strong association was found between the presence of CHD and severe baldness at the crown of the head. Another study of over 7,000 individuals (including more than 4,000 women), found that the risk of dying from heart disease doubled for those with moderate to severe levels of baldness, regardless of gender. 

3. Ear Creases

One of the strangest signs of clogged arteries is a crease in your earlobe. Such creases generally appear at an angle that runs diagonally from the lower edge of the earlobe to the canal. Such a crease may be the result of inefficient circulation, either within the heart or within the arteries. Research carried out in 2016 made use of a CT scan to measure silent CHD, and found that creases in the ears were able to predict heart disease, even after taking many other factors into consideration, such as smoking and aging.

4. Calf Pain While Walking

Particularly prevalent in smokers, atherosclerosis can begin to block leg arteries before CHD is diagnosed. If you notice such a symptom, then don't hesitate to get yourself checked. Your doctor will be able to measure your blood flow and leg blood pressure and examine the pulses in your leg, so that they can diagnose poor circulation. They will then be able to prescribe adequate medication and important lifestyle changes to help you recover before it's too late.
