This Happens Before Chest Pain—Here’s What It Means

A change in blood flow in your most private moments can sometimes be an early warning sign of heart disease. In this video, Dr. Columbus Batiste explains why erectile dysfunction, decreased arousal, dryness, and reduced sensitivity can reflect underlying blood vessel damage, reduced nitric oxide, stress-related vascular strain, and plaque risk — often years before chest pain ever appears. He also walks through the foods and habits that can help support better blood flow, including nitrate-rich vegetables, polyphenol foods, fiber, beans, nuts, and lifestyle changes that improve endothelial function and vascular health.
