The blocked arteries may manifest in various ways beyond chest pain. A surgeon has explained that it is important to identify these signs to prevent serious complications. A vascular surgeon and varicose vein specialist Dr. Sumit Kapadia, took to Instagram on 1 August to share a post about these warning signals.

‘Most people wait until the pain becomes unbearable’

In this, he said, “After treating thousands of patients with blocked arteries, these are the things that I wanted more people to know that it was too late.” Dr. Kapadia highlighted how the blocked arteries are often performed beyond chest pain, and it is important to pay attention to these warning signals.

He said, “Most people wait until the pain becomes unbearable. Until they can walk without any discomfort. Until the shortness of breath is a daily struggle. Or worse … worse … until they get into the emergency room,” he said.

Here are some warning indications to look out

He went to share a list of things that he works as a ‘every person understands quickly’:

⦿ Dr. Kapadia said, “Chest pain is not just a sign of warning – leg pain, numbness, or disruptions can also point to arterial disease.”

⦿ He said, “Family history matters -if you had heart or vascular issues of parents or brothers and sisters, do not wait to show symptoms.”

⦿ Dr. According to Kapadia: Smoking and diabetes are a deadly combo for your blood vessels.

⦿ Dr. Kapadia said, “Regular check-ups save lives. A simple Doppler scan or ABI test may detect initial obstacles.”

⦿ He said, “It is not only about the heart – peripheral arteries (especially in the feet) are equally important and are often ignored.”

Dr Kapadia said that “many patients come to us in Stage 3 or 4 – when surgery is the only option. But many obstacles can be stopped or reversed quickly,” Dr. Kapadia said.

Early awareness = Saved organs, saved life

He concluded, “Let this post be your reminder: Take that symptom seriously. Book that test. Change that habit. Because when it comes to your vascular health, early awareness = saved organs, saved life.”

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is necessary to consult a vascular surgeon or a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment. Initial detection can help prevent serious complications, such as heart attack, organ loss or stroke.
