## Resource

Most people think blocked blood vessels only cause heart attacks. In this episode, Dr. Raja Gopala explains how blood clots form, what causes poor circulation, and why symptoms like leg pain, swelling, varicose veins, and skin colour changes should never be ignored. We also discuss how diabetes, smoking, prolonged sitting, and long flights affect your blood flow, along with the latest minimally invasive treatments that can help prevent serious complications. If you want to understand blood clots, vascular health, and the warning signs your legs may be giving you, this conversation is for you.
