When Your Blood Flow is Weak

Weak blood flow can result in 1) Numbness, Weaknesss and Swelling. When your blood flow is weak, the lack of blood supply to your hands and legs can result in feelings of weakness and numbness in these areas. When poor blood circulation interferes with the kidneys, it can lead to abnormal swelling, particularly in the feet. 2) Painful Cramps. You may experience painful cramps in your calf muscles during activity, and also possible in your hip and thigh, which improve after rest. This occurs due to a lack of oxygen and nutrients reaching your tissues effectively due to poor flow of blood. 3) Hair Loss and Weak Nails. Poor circulation of blood can prevent the roots of your hair from receiving adequate nutrients. If this occurs, your hair may become thin, weak and fall out. Similarly, poor circulation can prevent your fingers from receiving sufficient blood flow, with your nail beds starved of oxygen. This can result in brittle nails which break easily. 4. Weak Immune System. Poor circulation affects your immune system as the antibodies required to fight off infections are carried in your blood stream. This means that when your blood flow is restricted, you may find that you get ill more often, take longer to recover from illnesses, and any cuts and grazes also don’t heal as quickly. 5. Exhaustion and Feeling Cold. When blood supply is restricted, the body lacks the fuel it needs to maintain optimum energy and temperature levels. This can lead to lethargy and feeling colder than normal. 6. Erectile Dysfunction. If you are a man who have poor circulation because of clogged arteries, you may experience difficulties getting an erection due to insufficient blood flow in the reproductive organs. 7. Poor Mental Function. The brain relies on blood flow to function properly, so reduced blood flow may result in difficulty concentrating and problems with short and long-term memory. 8. Heart Problems. Chest pain can come about caused by restricted blood flow to the heart muscles. If you have poor circulation, your heart muscles won’t receive the oxygen and nutrients they need to function properly. Angina is indicated by a tight, heavy feeling in the chest – often described as cramping – which sometimes radiates across the arms, neck, jaw or back. It is a warning sign that you have an increased risk of a heart attack. 9. Constipation and Diarrhea. When blood flow slows down throughout the body, it can also lead to slower digestive processes. Over time, this can result in disrupted bowel movements including constipation, diarrhea or abdominal pain.10. Varicose Veins. When the valves in the vein become weakened, blood and pressure builds up causing the veins just below the surface of the skin to twist and swell. They are usually blue or purple in colour and appear near the feet and ankles. Don’t let weak blood flow cause many health problems.
