Circulatory Problems
There are several different disorders that relate to problems with the circulatory system. Hypertension results when blood is forced through hardened blood vessels with a greater force. Buerger's disease is brought on by the chronic inflammation of blood vessels. The constriction and spasm of blood vessels in the extremities characterize Raynaud's phenomenon. Circulatory problems can also cause varicose veins because of loss of elasticity in the veins.
