The most common ailment of the circulatory system is atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. This condition can lead to heart attack or stroke. Sometimes there are no symptoms, but when the problem is severe it typically causes symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness, nausea, and sweating. The second most common circulatory disease is hypertension, or high blood pressure. High blood pressure is very often without symptoms and has been called 'the silent killer', so it is important to get regular blood pressure checks.
