Relating your rotator cuff tear to your car accident can be extremely difficult. Because the majority of tears are caused by wear and tear, it's not uncommon for an insurance company to deny a person's claim and say that the car accident wasn't the cause.
Heart attacks. If your arteries become completely blocked, it can cause a heart attack (myocardial infarction). Heart attacks can permanently damage the heart muscle and, if not treated straight away, can be fatal. Dial 999 for immediate medical assistence if you think you're having a heart attack.
Symptoms of Blocked Arteries. Symptoms of blocked arteries vary, depending on the location of the arteries and whether the blockage is sudden or gradual. The most common cause of blocked arteries is atherosclerosis (sometimes called hardening of the arteries), in which fatty deposits called plaques accumulate inside the artery walls. As the plaques grow, they may eventually block the flow of blood.
