Open Wounds or ulcers that ooze but do not bleed.

Chest pain is associated with heart damage but bad circulation in the legs can bring it on too this is the bodies warning device.
Shortness of breath.
Extreme tiredness when walking up short flights of stairs.

Exercise

Start or continue to exercise, daily.

Walking is the best for circulation problems. I know it may hurt, been there done that, do it anyway. As much as you can stand. You will be surprised at how much you can do after you start IV or oral chelation. During the chelation the more you walk the better. Walking helps keep the EDTA flowing through your body at a better rate.

Tip #1 Manage Stress

Manage Stress. Stress restricts the flow of blood in the body by tightening muscles, and restricting the free flow of fluids. Meditation, yoga, tai chi or even daily walks in nature can all help reduce stress significantly. Especially the walking, two birds with one walk. Also listening to Baroque Music has been found to also reduce stress.
