The increased viscosity of the blood can lead to the formation of blood clots. Yaroslav Ashikhmin, a cardiologist, advisor to the general director of the International Medical Cluster Foundation, warned about this on Tuesday, April 20.
The doctor talked about how to protect your blood vessels. Maintaining a healthy body weight is important, Ashikhmin said, as obesity contributes to blood clots.
“You should eat right – vegetables, fruits, fish, whole grains, olive oil, do not abuse alcohol, exercise. All this, of course, can reduce the risk of thrombus formation – something that is colloquially associated with an increase in blood viscosity, ”the expert said in an interview with the Zvezda TV channel.
Earlier, on April 9, the chief cardiologist of the Russian Ministry of Health Yuri Belenkov said that a blood clot can form in any part of the human body quite suddenly. The expert named the main signs of impending cerebral thrombosis.
First, it is a very severe headache. The second is a violation of the symmetry of the face. The expert called confusion of speech, as well as deterioration or loss of vision, the third reason, according to the website 360tv.ru. Also, numbness of an arm or leg, and in some cases even paralysis, can speak of an impending threat.
