How to Clean Blocked Arteries
Blocked arteries occur when plaque builds up in the arteries surrounding the heart. They can cause heart damage, because less oxygen and less blood flows through these arteries. Signs of blocked arteries include frequent napping; dizziness; discomfort while exercising, even for short periods of time; trouble sleeping at night; mood swings and the inability to perform sexually. Severely blocked arteries may require a surgical operation such as angioplasty or bypass surgery. It is sometimes possible, however, to clean out minor blocked arteries without the help of a doctor.
