Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Could you please tell me what are the initial symptoms of arteriosclerosis?Doctor's answer:
The initial stage of arteriosclerosis is asymptomatic. It is only when arteriosclerosis progresses to a certain extent that it can affect the function of body organs, such as leading to cardiovascular complications. If arteriosclerosis reaches a certain level, patients may experience symptoms such as dizziness, hand numbness, palpitations, and shortness of breath. Therefore, once arteriosclerosis is detected during examination, treatment must be implemented immediately.
