During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Artery symptoms. Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis. Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
Why: Arterial dysfunction can result in pain, which can be quite severe. Severe arterial occlusion as a result of vascular disease can be felt as constant excruciating pain.
Why: Raynaud's syndrome results in a predictable and unpleasant progression of symptoms of your peripheries in response to cold or to emotion. First your fingers/toes may become very pale, then bluish, then finally red and painful.
Why: This can be a symptom of arterial or vascular disease, as there is diminished and abnormal blood flow to your peripheral tissues (hands, feet).
Why: These can be symptoms of arterial disease, and can also cause or predispose you to a wide variety of arterial symptoms.
