Arteriosclerosis is a common vascular disease with a variety of symptoms, including dizziness, headache, memory loss, limb numbness, chest tightness, chest pain, and vision loss.

1. Dizziness and headache: This is one of the more common symptoms of hardening of the arteries. Due to the hardening of the arteries, the blood supply to the brain is insufficient, and the brain is deprived of oxygen, which causes dizziness and headaches. This dizziness may worsen with a sudden change of position, and the headache may be a constant, dull or throbbing ache.

2. Memory loss: Arteriosclerosis affects the blood supply and oxygen supply to the brain, causing the function of brain cells to decline, resulting in gradual memory loss, which is manifested as easy to forget recent events and difficulty concentrating.

3. Limb numbness: When the blood vessels supplying the limb are hardened, the blood circulation is not smooth, and the limb does not get enough nutrients and oxygen, numbness will occur, which may affect the mobility of the limb in severe cases.

4. Chest tightness and chest pain: If the coronary arteries of the heart are hardened and the blood supply to the myocardium is insufficient, symptoms of chest tightness and chest pain may occur, especially after exertion or emotional agitation.

5. Vision loss: Hardening of the blood vessels in the eye may affect the blood supply to the retina, resulting in decreased vision, blurred vision, and even temporary blindness.

6. Tinnitus and deafness: Hardening of the blood vessels in the ear may affect the blood supply and nerve function of the ear, resulting in symptoms such as tinnitus and hearing loss.

In general, the symptoms of hardening of the arteries vary depending on the location and degree of hardening. If the above symptoms appear, you should seek medical attention in time and undergo relevant examinations, such as vascular ultrasound, blood lipid profile, etc., for early diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as a balanced diet, moderate exercise, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, etc., can help prevent the occurrence and progression of arteriosclerosis.
