I have a couple of varicose veins and I have been trying to figure out why they are there. It’s been really hard to explain, but I’ll try.
I was born with varicose veins on my legs, but as best as I can tell, they have nothing to do with being born blind. I didn’t have them until I was 13, or maybe 20. They are a condition called arterial occlusive disease, and it is not only common among people with varicose veins but a large number of varicose vein sufferers.
Arterial occlusive disease occurs when the arteries or veins that supply blood to the heart become clogged. This can occur due to damage or blockage in the arteries or veins. If blood supply is reduced, it can lead to a buildup of plaque on the walls of the arteries and veins. The plaque can get caught in the veins, causing clots to form and eventually blockage.
Blood clots (a.k.a. thrombosis) are a common cause of lower extremity amputations. If the blood supply to the extremity is blocked, the blood flow can be reduced and the extremity can be lost.
The term “varicose veins” is also used for veins that start growing on their own, causing the veins to become very thick and painful. This can happen for many reasons, and if blood supply to the extremity is reduced, it can lead to a buildup of plaque on the walls of the veins and arteries. When this occurs, the tissue can become weakened, causing the veins to be clogged and causing the extremity to be lost.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a few close calls with some of those thick, clogged veins. I’ve even had to have them surgically removed (it’s hard to find a vein that isn’t already too thick).
As I mentioned in the previous paragraph, one of the most common causes of vascular thickening is varicose veins. Varicose veins are caused by poor blood circulation and can include a wide variety of different problems. One of the main reasons why the veins in your face, hands, and feet are so thin is because they have poor blood circulation. Just like that, poor circulation causes the veins to become thin.
There is no way to completely cure a poor circulation problem, but there is a way to minimize its impact. The best way to prevent it is to get regular checkups, which is something every diabetics should do.
And we’re not talking about just checking the veins of your face, hands, feet, or legs either. There are a variety of different blood pressure checks that are performed to see if your blood pressure is normal and/or within the normal range for your age. In general, the diabetics should be getting their blood pressure checked four times a year, although it may vary between people.
The most common blood pressure check, for me, is the finger stick, which is a simple blood pressure measurement that you can do yourself. There are many different types of finger sticks, and some of them will require you to insert a special needle into your vein, which is pain for the doctor.
