Food during ischemia plays a big role. How the patient’s diet meets the recommendations of the doctor, to a large extent depends on his well-being.
Ischemia is a deficiency in the flow of blood to various organs. Due to impaired blood supply, they do not receive enough oxygen for normal activity.
This condition occurs mainly as a result of regular and frequent drops in blood pressure. Also due to irregular heartbeat. The cause of ischemia may be spasms of individual arteries. Serious loss of blood and pathology of the circulatory system, including thrombosis, embolism, atherosclerosis. Among the factors leading to the occurrence of ischemia, obesity is called. And mechanical compression of the arteries by tumor tissue that develops outside the vessels.
Signs of ischemia
Ischemia can be suspected by several symptoms:
pains near the heart – stabbing, burning, pressing; soreness in the neck, lower jaw, back or stomach, arm and shoulder blade (left);
headaches – frequent, prolonged and severe;
changes in blood pressure;
lack of air for breathing;
numbness of hands and feet;

constant feeling of nausea;
shortness of breath;
inattention;
“tides” and “ebb” (suddenly a person is thrown into the heat, then into the cold);
high blood pressure;
high levels of cholesterol and sugar;
edema.
Types of disease
Ischemia can occur after a person has experienced pain, a cold, or a hormonal imbalance. This type of disease is called prolonged ischemia.
The cause of transient ischemia is inflammation, which provokes clogging of the artery by a thrombus, squeezing of the vessel by a tumor, some foreign object, and the formation of a scar next to the vessel.
There are the following types of ischemia:
Cardiac ischemia and CNS ischemia are the most common type of pathology.
Cerebral ischemia, as well as ischemia of the arms and legs.
Intestinal ischemia, which is provoked by unicellular bacteria or worms: they can block the channel for the passage of blood through the intestinal vessels.
