Answer 4

Keep moving! If leg artery disease is causing you discomfort, you may not feel like walking; but hang in there anyway. Take a brisk walk for a half-hour to an hour - preferably each day, but at least three times a week. Experts aren't sure just why walking helps improve the condition, but they know it does. It may encourage the development of tiny "detours" (called collateral circulation) through unblocked vessels, or it may just train leg muscles to use oxygen more efficiently.

In any case, get moving: Walk until the discomfort sets in, then slow down or stop. Once pain subsides, resume your pace. Don't try to walk "through" severe pain.

Start swimming in an indoor pool, or just walk in the water, backward as well as forward. It's likely you'll start to feel a difference before long - and such a program of regular exercise has many other benefits, too. It burns calories, keeps you limber, and lifts your spirits.

Keep tabs on blood cholesterol. If you are diagnosed with leg artery disease, it's a good bet that your blood cholesterol levels are too high. If you don't know your cholesterol numbers yet, ask your doctor to measure your levels of "good" (HDL) and "bad" (LDL) cholesterol. If you find you do have a significant blood cholesterol problem, it's never too late to start treatment, which will reduce your risk of heart disease, as well.

Trim dietary fat. This is good advice for everyone, and since most people with leg artery disease have too much blood cholesterol, it makes extra good sense for them. A lean diet can help lower blood fats that circulate throughout the body.

Keep high blood pressure under control. Elevated pressure within the arteries causes long-term damage to the vessels themselves and the organs they supply. If you have high blood pressure, keep it at normal levels through diet, exercise, and prescribed medication. This will yield fringe benefits for the entire circulatory system.

Heads up at night. If you have resting pain in bed at night, try sleeping with a wedge-shaped pillow to elevate your head and upper body. That helps gravity send blood down to your feet.

Trapped in quiet backwaters along the circulatory system in the legs, undisturbed blood can settle and form clots. Chances of the phenomenon increase when prolonged inactivity slows the flow of blood to a crawl. If a clot breaks free and travels to the lungs, the results can be fatal; so it's very important to keep your legs moving, even when confined to bed. By tightening the veins and thus speeding the flow of blood, elastic stockings often help too.
