Circulation symptoms: Symptoms affecting the circulatory system
Introduction: Various disorders can lead to poor circulation either generally or in particular areas of circulation. Poor circulation may lead to blueness (cyanosis), pallor, and other symptoms. Poor circulation can also reduce healing effectiveness in affected areas leading to poor healing. Any needs prompt professional medical advice. Blueness can indicate cyanosis such as from lack of circulation and can be very serious. This can arise due to various severe illnesses that inhibit circulation or oxygen takeup. Localized cyanosis can also occur in areas of poor circulation such as the hands and fingers in Raynaud's phenomenon. Cyanosis may also be described as purple skin or dark skin in some cases. Any form of cyanosis, circulation symptom or circulatory disorder needs medical investigation.
