i don't know why i feel poor blood circulation becos, last time nurse want to take my blood they say my blood is so thick or sticky or waht don't seem to flow in the tube, like blood all jam and don't move thru the tube, they say it is becos i am too nervous, scared so my blood constrict and jam, do u believe that? i do admit i am scared when they try to take my blood, they put heat on me than a bit ok.and also becos i sometimes suddenly feel my heart beat so so fast, and i feel a bit light headed, dizzy, or just feel light headed, once i feel light headed, my heart will beat so fast, like so scared, panic, when it happen all becos haywire, i am so worried, i did my last threadmill stress test showed normal, except i only do for 2 mins cos i cannot walk on that threadmill no stamina, very poor stamina, i cannot even walk for 5mins. but they say my result normal, i did it in april 2007.

anyway i am now suffering from bad stress, esp at work, and worrying abt my kid study, and how to train her and be with her wishing i am not working but have to work so i am stress abt that.

i am tired everytime, so sick, headache, neckache, leg pain, always drowsy, i sleep at 1am wake up at 6am sometimes i felt so drowsy and giddy that i sleep at 10pm and wake up at 6am. i am too stress becos there are so many negative words abt me, esp at work, ppl love to talk behind and some just hate me for no reason, don't know why.i wish i can do what i like the problem is needmoneey is money that important.

so i guess that is reason my blood bad circulation and i am so worrysome person. Sad

Just drink lots of water when you have blood test.... it helps.

I used to give blood and one of the things they ask you to do before giving blood is to drink lots of water and that will help the blood to flow much more easily.

take some red wine occasionally?

try taking fish oil tablets (omega-3), too.

It has been documented many times over that they improve your overall health, joints, blood circulation (they "thin" the blood slightly), and mental alertness.

you have to take them for a while before the effects show, however.

However, I think the main problem is "Lifestyle." It's obvious and painful that you're under lots of stress... I'm really sorry to hear about it. I'm not sure what advice I can give about your child, or your workplace (I'm not married with kids, and I haven't worked for that long either - 2 years in the workforce so far), but exercise can help relieve some stress...

Yoga. Nowadays lots of teenagers and adults take up yoga. Heard its a good aid for your body. You may want to try that. The best is drink lots of water and exercise atleast 3 times a week to ensure your heart works at its maximum potential.

"if a ship has been sunk," Admiral Ernest J. King ( the man who directed United States Navy in World war II ) went on," I can't bring it up. If it is going to be sunk, I can't stop it. I can use my time much better working on tomorrow's problem than by fretting about yesterday's. Beside, if I let those things get me, i wouldn't last long.

Take it easy. Relax, try not to think too much.Exercise, swim ( good for circulation ), go for a massage, take some time off for yourself.

Never be bothered by what people say, as long as you know in your heart you are right.

Sometime, you are probably too sensitive and imagine that people hate you.. when they don't. Wake up.

i am a,lswya stress and always don't feel good, my body aching, all over my body, chest pain like heaviness n press on my chest it hurts, dizzy all this contribute to my worries. now having lower abdominal pain, doc say it is lower abdominal infection got such thing, i am not sure, so when the pain there i am always worrying, back pain and body all aching over, i am so worried. sleep also not too good, wake up certain time. worry if anything happen to me mychild so pity. now neck ache chest pain like press pain, i hope it is muscular. and i hear so many young ppl now drop dead for no reason even they fit. so scared.

i guess the best if i can hv self control on the food i take,i 've been taking alot of oily stuff. i am also putting on alot of weight becos stress make me eat an d eat and eat. i hope i am not working, the stress of ppl make me sick too.

i prefer to be alone, at peace.the mos ti hate is suddenly feelig of dizzy, light headedness. hate that,it panic me.

Isis SG

I'm not a doctor. However, i also know being stressful, worrying too much and having no enough sleep will make me fall sick.

Take care. Smile

What in the world is "poor blood circulation". Does it mean the rate at which blood flows through your body? How do you measure that? What is "normal"? What is "fast" and what is "slow"?

Does it mean that some parts of you body is bad/dead because not enough blood flows there? Rolling Eyes

alba SG

yeah, i also don't understand what is the meaning of poor blood circulation but i know it is bad, ex. like when my leg cramp badly, or when i feel dizzy, light headed, heart beating very fast, when take blood thick(but last year mycholesterol is quite ok), last year i check my gluscose and cholesterol ok, but my symptoms are very bad. i don't know why. then this year scared tgo check becos i xerhve been putting on weight and eating alot lot more. how to do exercise, i walk far my chest sometimes feel tight heavy and when press so painful. i guess it is very bad blood circulation.i know must walk alot, which i don't , go to work and back to work i take cab too tired to walk, baclk,weekend stayed @home watching tv, eat and sleeping, how can i know, so that is why i say my blood circulate bad esp i feel so lousy, tired, sleepy, no mood , light headed, dizzy. when i do my threadmill stress test 1 min i give up, doc say no staimina is too bad. now must learn to improve stamina, but when i do exercises like threadmill i feel so light headed, dizzy when coming down from that threadmill machine. what is wrong, afterte that i dare not do it anymore.

now also my chest feel heavy, tight and abit drowsy, sleepy, i am awake last night again and again at 6am.my heart is not at peace, like so many things i want to do but i can't. i love to do business, have my own shop but don't know how to start, wish to take care of my family kids and husband, be good mum and wife which i can't cos i am working, and dislike working becos alot of negative ppl toxic ppl @work that make me feel so down and low of myself. so i am squeezing my self to fit in which i don't like. i can't be good mum and wife becos too tired after work, my brain all shut downm

take a healthy balanced diet and exercise regularly.

AndrewPKYap SG

you continue to guess guess like it is due to poor blood circulation, and if you continue to find out the real cause... you might die without ever knowing the real reason why you are dead. Better go for some tests to determine what the real cause of your problems are.

honeymouse SG

I think your problem is stress. Just learn to relax and try not to push yourself too much. Remember you can only do so much. Try to delegate some of your housework.... let your kids and hubby help out since you're working too...

If you are so concerned about your health then you should start looking after yourself by eating healthy and do more exercise. You don't need to be an athlete to do exercise. Try to allocate 30min - an hour a day to do some exercise like going for a walk, working on some of the equipment installed at the base of the HDB block (if there's any where you live). Use the stairs instead of the lift is quite good. Again, you don't have to push yourself too hard, just start off slowly - one step at a time.

When you first started exercising, it can be difficult but if you learn to endure, it will get easier after sometime. And you will feel better too.

Drink lots of water instead of coffee or tea. Have lots of vegetables, fruits, fibre and less meat in your diet. If it helps, take some multi-vitamins too.

Take care!
