What Causes Poor Blood Circulation In The Legs?

I am 46 yrs old, poor blood circulation in my right leg, my feet turn red, blue and purple, my hands have also started turning red. I don' like excessive noise, feel foggy and disorientated. Feel nausea when its almost time for a meal with headache, blurred vision at times, extremely tired could go to sleep easily, fall asleep without warning, too tired to do anything takes an effort to get moving.

Hello,
The information you have provided is somewhat insufficient to go for diagnosis. If such a patient comes to my clinic, i would ask more questions like
- for how long do you have these symptoms like fatigue, headache, changes in color of your hands and feet
- Do these changes occur in cold or hot environment?
- Do you feel pain or tingling sensation in your hands or are they numb?
- how often does headache occur and what incite it?
- have you got diabetes or any previous heart disease?
- Do you smoke?
- Do you often forget things? how is your memory?
- have you got any tremors recently?
- Do blood tests like CBC, LFT's, RFT's and fundoscopy for blurring of vision.
- Echocardiography to know the current status of your heart.

Besides poor blood circulation can occur due to prolong immobility, maybe because of your job.

Hope i have satisfied you to my best. I am here to answere if you still have any queries. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer

WISH YOU BEST OF HEALTH!
