Poor Circulation and High Blood Pressure Connection
A few factors can cause problems with your blood circulation and high blood pressure seems to be one of them. In turn, poor blood circulation is often a cause of high blood pressure.

It can cause blockages in your veins that can lead to stroke or heart attack, so it`s not something you can take lightly.
