Vascular Spasm treatment in Cancún

Vascular spasm, or vasospasm, is a sudden, temporary contraction of the wall of a blood vessel that reduces its diameter and limits the flow of blood. It can affect arteries in different parts of the body, such as the fingers, the heart, or the brain.

Common manifestations: Color changes in the fingers with cold, pain or coldness in an area, and, in cardiac cases, chest pain.

Common causes: Cold, stress, smoking, or certain diseases that affect the blood vessels.

Which specialist evaluates it? The angiologist and the vascular surgeon focus on the vessels of the limbs, while the cardiologist gets involved when the circulation of the heart is compromised. If you notice repeated episodes of color change, coldness, or pain, it is a good idea to have one of these professionals check your circulation.
