Partner Has Beer Gut, Man Boobs, Muscular Legs Due To Vascular Problems, On Medicines For Acute Ischemia, Arterial Thrombosis. Suggestion?
My husband has a beer gut and man boobs. His arms are flabby and when he eats he s fills his cheeks like a squirrel would. He has great muscular legs because he cycles quite a lot but not lately because he has a vascular problem. The arteries in his arm become inflammed and very painful. Last winter he stared having these problems and has had several tests done but not concrete conclusion. He has been diagnosed as having acute Ischemia and Arterial thrombosis . He s been on Fragmin injections twice a day since. Could you please tell us what to do next?

HI. You have to continue with the treatment your Doctor advises for your husband. You must take a consultation of Cardiovascular Surgeon and Medical specialist to ascertain whether this is due to local vascular problem of arms or is a part of a generalized disorder.
