Hello,

Intermittent claudication, often caused by peripheral artery disease (PAD), can be managed effectively with proper treatment and lifestyle changes. The treatment plan typically focuses on improving blood flow and relieving symptoms.

Suggested Treatment

  1. Lifestyle Changes

    • Quit smoking (if applicable) to improve vascular health.
    • Follow a heart-healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
    • Regular moderate exercise, like walking, can improve circulation and reduce symptoms.

  2. Medications

    • Blood thinners (e.g., aspirin or clopidogrel) may be prescribed to prevent clots.
    • Statins to manage cholesterol levels.

  3. Advanced Treatments (if required)

    • Angioplasty or stent placement to open blocked arteries.
    • Bypass surgery in severe cases.

Additional Information Needed

  • What symptoms are you experiencing (e.g., pain in calves, numbness, cramping)?
  • Do you have underlying conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol?
  • Have you had any imaging or tests (e.g., Doppler ultrasound) done?

मेरा 2012 में bypass सर्जरी हुई थी । डॉक्टर की लापरवाही से ऑपरेशन फैल हो गया । तब से लेकर अब तक दवाओ पर ही निर्भर हु । 10 मीटर पैदल चलता हूँ तो सांस फूल जाती है और खांसी चलने के साथ ही उलटी होने लगती है । जिनको भी दिखाया सब Redu बायपास की सलाह देते है लेकिन रिसक कोइ नही ले रहा है । सांस ना फूले इसके लिए कोई अच्छा सा डॉक्टर बतावे या फिर दवा देवे । सांस फूलना डॉक्टर का कहना है हार्ट की वजह से नही है । कोई समाधान बतावे ।
