3. Feeling Lightheaded
Clogged arteries can put a lot more pressure on the body to perform basic functions like pumping blood from one part of the body to another. This can mean that you experience symptoms related to this that increase as the condition gets worse, and other symptoms that could put you at an increased risk of developing a heart attack or stroke.
Feeling lightheaded is something that can point towards low blood pressure or blood sugar, but it can also sometimes be a warning sign for diabetics who need to keep a close eye on their health – and in some cases, it can indicate that clogged arteries are becoming an issue and it’s affecting blood flow to the heart and brain.
See your doctor if you notice that you’re feeling lightheaded more often than you should. Whatever is causing it is best diagnosed in the earlier stages – and you could be more of a stroke risk right now than you realize.
