Symptom #3: Numb Limbs
If you experience a hardening in your peripheral arteries, it’s possible that you will experience numbness in your extremities and your limbs. The peripheral arteries are those that provide blood to your arms and your legs, as well as to your pelvis.
When these arteries become blocked or too narrow, it can contribute to a number of unpleasant symptoms as the areas that they supply become deprived of blood. Since these arteries directly supply your extremities, numbness in these areas can be a sign that these blood vessels are blocked.
