10 Critical Warning Signs That Your Arteries Are Clogged—and What to Do

Poor circulation means your body isn’t getting enough oxygenated blood, leaving you tired or weak, even after rest.

What to do: Track your energy levels—persistent fatigue is worth checking with a doctor.

What to do: Sudden dizziness should never be ignored, especially if paired with slurred speech or weakness (possible stroke signs).
