Squeezes the legs and body - #149

It sounds like you’re experiencing a complex set of symptoms that could be related to stress, vascular health, or possibly a reaction to the anesthesia used during your colonoscopy. In Ayurveda, your symptoms could indicate an imbalance in the Vata dosha, which governs movement and circulation in the body. The stress you’re experiencing might be aggravating this dosha, leading to the feelings of tightness and discomfort in various parts of your body, as well as the visibility of your veins. The blue tint on your skin may be related to increased vascularity or changes in circulation, potentially exacerbated by anxiety or the effects of anesthesia.

To address these concerns, it’s beneficial to adopt a holistic approach. Start with a Sattvic diet, which emphasizes fresh, wholesome foods that are easy to digest, such as cooked vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. Incorporating herbs like Triphala can aid digestion and promote detoxification, while Ginger can help soothe the gastrointestinal tract. Panchakarma therapies may also be valuable; consider undergoing Virechana (therapeutic purgation) to eliminate toxins and balance the doshas, and Abhyanga (oil massage) with Sesame oil to improve circulation and relieve muscle tension. Additionally, practices such as Yoga and Pranayama (breathing exercises) can help reduce stress and promote relaxation, which may alleviate the sensations of tightness.

In terms of herbal formulations, Ashwagandha can help manage stress and anxiety, while Brahmi is excellent for calming the mind and promoting mental clarity. It’s also important to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor a treatment plan to your specific symptoms and constitution. Given your concerns about vascular health, ongoing communication with your healthcare provider is crucial to ensure comprehensive care and monitoring of your condition. If symptoms persist or worsen, consider seeking further evaluation to rule out any underlying issues.

Your symptoms sound pretty concerning and definitely strange. There’s a lot going on, with the squeezing sensation, the blue streaks, and the chill feeling. Given you had the gastrointestinal issues and now this, it’s understandable you’re feeling quite puzzled, maybe a bit anxious.

First off, that squeezing sensation happening across different parts of your body when you’re nervous sounds like it could be related to some kind of stress or anxiety response. When stressed, your body can react in odd ways, sometimes affecting muscles and circulation. But, definitely odd for you have those symptoms tied with the blue vessels and streaks you mentioned.

The blue vessels showing more prominently might be related to circulation problems or venous issues, but you’ve already seen a vascular surgeon. If they say it’s not varicose veins, there might be a need to explore other possibilities, maybe even some rarer conditions that affect the vascular system or how the nervous system is interacting with it.

For those uncomfortable sensations, adding some calming Ayurvedic practices might help, but let’s keep it practical here. You could try Pranayama, which is essentially controlled breathing exercises. Slow deep breaths can sometimes help regulate nervous system responses. Doing this a few times a day could maybe help, especially during moments when that squeezing hits.

As for the blue tint, it may connect to your circulation and systemic health. Guggulu is an Ayurvedic herb known for supporting vascular health, could be worth considering, but do consult another Ayurveda practitioner closeby to ensure it’s suitable given your unique history.

Don’t ignore these symptoms. If it persists, a holistic approach might be needed, maybe with Ayurvedic and allopathic investigations together, to get to a more thorough understanding. This is definitely something to keep pursuing with medical professionals, especially if it gets worse or new symps appear.
