Question 1

I've just had surgery for my varicose veins, and after finding out about them, I quit using tobacco altogether. Before the surgery, I was pretty into marijuana, and I'm wondering if I start using it again, but without any tobacco, could that worsen my vein issues?

Accepted Answer

It's great that you've quit tobacco, as it helps your recovery. Using marijuana without tobacco might not directly aggravate varicose veins, but smoking of any kind can impact circulation and healing. It's best to avoid it entirely to promote long-term vein health.

Question 2

I'm really worried because doctors are suggesting that I need to have my finger amputated due to gangrene. I'm terrified of going through with it and was wondering if there's any chance it can be treated without amputation. Are there other methods out there, like ayurveda or alternative treatments, that could help? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Accepted Answer

Visible shaking with each heartbeat, despite normal echo and ECG, suggests:_
 
 1. Enhanced peripheral pulse: Increased blood flow or vessel stiffness.
 2. Anxiety or stress: Amplifying bodily sensations.
 3. Low blood pressure: Decreased vascular resistance.
 4. Dehydration or electrolyte imbalance.
 5. Caffeine or nicotine excess.
 6. Hyperventilation syndrome.

Question 3

I've been noticing that my feet are constantly cold, both during the day and at night. It's got me a bit worried. Could this be something I should be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

Cold feet throughout the day and night can sometimes indicate poor circulation or underlying conditions like hypothyroidism or anemia. It's important to consult a doctor to rule out any serious issues, especially if it's persistent or accompanied by other symptoms.

I'm curious about the effects of crossing my legs for long periods. I know it might affect blood circulation, but could it also lead to varicose veins, spider veins, or back pain? Looking for some peace of mind!
