Clogged arteries can strain the heart, sometimes causing palpitations or irregular rhythms.
What to do: Keep track of irregular heartbeats and seek medical advice for tests such as an ECG.
7. Erectile Dysfunction in Men
Reduced blood flow is often one of the earliest signs of clogged arteries. Erectile dysfunction can indicate circulation issues long before other symptoms appear.
What to do: Don’t dismiss ED as “just aging”—talk to your doctor, as it may point to heart health problems.
8. Cold Hands and Feet
Poor circulation may leave extremities feeling colder than the rest of your body.
What to do: Persistent coldness, along with numbness or tingling, should be evaluated for circulation issues.
9. Nausea, Sweating, or Indigestion
