Question 1

what does this mean other anomalies of pulmonary artery and pulmonary circulation with collateral flow?

Accepted Answer

Partial description: That sounds like only part of a larger description? Anomalies usually refers to a congenital or birth defect. Collateral flow means blood is reaching its target tissue by alternate routes. Taken all together, my guess is: there is some congenital obstruction or diversion of blood from the right ventricle thru the lungs that, nonetheless, has found a way to get through.

Question 2

Question 3

no pulse in my radial artery. is this bad. have total radial artery occlusion.  what does this mean.  what exercises can i do to restore circulation?

Accepted Answer

There are many : Reasons why it happens but the absence of a radial artery may affect your hand significantly or not at all. The anatomy of the arterial system of the wrist and hand has a wide variation. Some have a ulnar artery dependent system, others mixed, others radial dependent. For example: the radial artery is often harvested for coronary grafts, or used for a shunt for dialysis. So more important is why?

Question 4

what are the symptoms of a compressed artery in the neck not allowing good circulation to the back of brain?  thank you!

Accepted Answer

Symptoms don't fit?: The artery idea leading to your symptoms do not match. So, I would say you are not in any danger. A vessel can expand and ruptured but that would be a sudden or worsening set of symptoms. Ringing and allergies can be caused by dozens of issues. I would pay a visit to your local doctor to get some answers. Gather a list of all your concerns so you talk them over with the provider.

Question 5

can you naturally reverse atherosclerosis, poor circulation, peripheral artery disease?

Accepted Answer

You can slow it down: We start to develop atherosclerosis in our 30's and generally it progresses as we age. People who have a family history of heart disease or stroke are more susceptible. You can slow down the progression of this disease by watching your cholesterol, keeping your blood pressure in check, attaining your ideal body weight and quitting smoking. Regular exercise, stress management and good eating helps!

Question 6

radial artery occlusion. how do u know if u have good vascular blood supply or circulation in fingers and hands. what tests determine this.

Accepted Answer

Radial artery occlus: A simple in home way of checking your circulation and getting first impression of its status would be to check your radial artery pulse just distal to your thumb base. If the occlusion is higher on the arm but the pulse is present, it's a good sign, then the occlusion is not total. If there is no pulse there, you may push on your fingernail. Usually blood comes back in less than 2 secs.

Question 7

i am getting numbness in face and right arm at night is this due to poor circulation i also have pain in left carotid artery and weak heart?

Accepted Answer

Concerning: A blockage in the left carotid area can cause numbness,tingling and paralysis of the right side of the body. A vascular surgeon is best qualified to deal with this serious issue and I feel that this should be evaluated urgently. I assume you are already taking daily aspirin and more treatment may be needed to avoid a stroke if there is significant blockage in that artery.

Question 8

how can  diabetes cause impaired blood circulation?

Accepted Answer

Poor circulation: High glucose in the blood can cause damage to the arteries. Diabetes with high cholesterol and hypertension lead to higher incidents of heart attacks and strokes. Many diabetics have peripheral artery disease and get cramps in the calves. They heal poorly when there is an injury to the feet. The best thing to do is to have tight control of your blood sugar, see dr., quit smoking, exercise, diet.

Question 9

could impaired circulation cause constant lighthead? what to do?

Accepted Answer

Not your case: You are 28 years old, too young to have impaired circulation unless a congenital lesion. For constant lightheadedness, i want to check your blood count, sugar, heart, circulation in neck and your inner and outer ear. These may help me to diagnose , if all is normal the i would consider other trsts

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Lattice Degeneration: Is not likely caused by impaired circulation.  The cause is not known.  It occurs frequently in very near-sighted people and may be a risk factor for retinal detachment.
