Any help will be appreciated
Hi everyone, I have been going more serious relating to my heart problems these days as from few days I have been feeling somewhat uneasy and when I went to the doctor he diagnosed this as low blood circulation. I have been given some suggestions for this by the doc,but would like to know any more things that I should OR should not do to avoid any complications.
Any help will be appreciated

There is too little information in your message, CJ. Low circulation can be caused by a million things, but if your question is about that is unclear. It's not possible, from what you wrote, to be sure if you are asking for prophylactic procedures in addition to what the doctor ordered or if you are asking for suggestions and further information about specific treatments for a disorder you didn't specify other than "my heart problems". (I am not suggesting that you specify it, I am saying that there is no you in the message you wrote.)
The area is tricky. I think that is why no one answered yet.
(For the record, I have no idea what to suggest, don't know the first thing about low circulation, suspect I am having the same problem, and if I did it have a suggestion it wouldn't be anything remotely resembling "normal"... so there!

first clarify if low blood circulation means "low blood pressure" or "low cardiac output", they are two very different conditions and with very different consequences.
Yes bulkh is right...it would be great if you could clearify.Anyways......in my opinion...Low blood circulation – that could that be somewhat related to coronary artery ….probably I guess not …otherwise the doctor would have told you. But, anyways I would advice you to be more careful and would like you to search for better health resources (its good that we get most of the answers and sources here) that will help you to know important tips on keeping yourself fit and the pros and cons of the related issues. I would advice you to look at heart health information as I too was a little worried about my high blood pressure but I have got some suggestions to keep that in control from reliable sources 
Find an exercise routine that you enjoy...even if you just begin to walk past the mailbox and around a block (or a few) and get into eating more healthful foods..., if you are depressive...find ways to eradicate that malady as well, the excercise should be a good beginning, and fall is a great time to start, if you are not already working out in some form. Exercise is good for anyone, no matter what the diagnosis is, really. The more strenuous excercises should be avoided (rather obvious) without checking with your physician first.
First and foremost, follow your doctor's advice.
The second thing I'd suggest (if he hasn't already) is that you take an aspirin every day, they sell them specifically for people with heart problems.
This is especially true if you're planning a trip that involves a long flight, a lot of people die from blood clots in their legs from sitting in one place for hours (esp., during long plane flights), take an aspirin before the flight and get up and walk around the plane every hour or so. The blood clots tend to break loose and get lodged in the heart or lungs and things go downhill rapidly from that point on. Aspirin tends to reduce the tendency for blood to form clots.
Likewise, make sure that if you get any injury, even like stubbing your toe, anything that causes a bruise is likely to form blood clots, so that's a good time to take an aspirin and keep taking aspirins daily until the bruise/injury goes away.
Vitamins C and D are good ideas in general for people with heart problems. Vitamin C tends to reduce the likelihood of bruising, and people are generally deficient in Vitamin D, the RDA for Vitamin D is under consideration for getting raised to the 1000IU-2000IU daily. Vitamin D in that range also tends to reduce the likelihood of getting cancer, so you can't go wrong with taking more (up to the 2000IU range, more than that may not be good for you).

Aspirin is good for high blood pressure. If he has low blood pressure, I doubt it will do much good.

Low blood circulation tends to lead to blood clots. Aspirin tends to reduce the likelihood of blood clots. Blood clots are potentially lethal. (It isn't a matter of blood pressure.)
Both your circulation and the overall health of your heart can be improved by the use of certain herbs. Use cayenne pepper to help strengthen and tone your capillaries and vessels. To reduce high blood pressure, try taking Hawthorne berries and rosemary. One way to lower cholesterol, maintain healthy blood pressure, and generally improve the health of your circulatory system is to eat garlic and onions. Consult your health care professional before taking any new herbs.
Can this be relate to anxiety? i have low blood circulation but i suffer bad stress at certain times. I seem to get mixed responses from my GP.

Natural vitamin supplements that come from naturally occurring food is much more effectively absorbed by the body than synthetic vitamins. There may even be a chemical structure in synthetic vitamins that try to trick the body into taking them as natural food

Please help yourself by picking up a book i am reading just now, (no, it isn't written by anyone I know personally, although my copy is signed) ;~})
It is an incredibly simple but effective persuader to be in good health by taking in the proper nutritional products, in the form of easily digestible foods.

My wife was told to take iron supplements, saying that she wasn't' getting enough in the foods she ate.
I think that regular physical activity is good for circulation generally. If you can figure out some way to make a routine out of walking or cycling or climbing a certain staircase each time you are in a certain building, etc., you will not end up circumventing exercise to make time for "more important" things. If you drive, then at least try to park far away from buildings to force yourself to walk further.
If you have a heart condition or circulation problems that could cause more problems with exercise or very strenuous exercise, though, you might want to check with your doctor to make sure certain forms of activity won't increase your risk.

about iron~
I took the iniciative to check on iron suppliments in the book that I spoke about...and here is what it says in a nutshell, on Iron Salts, which are added to foods and often times taken unsuspectingly by consumers.
( My paraphrasing)
IRON SALTS
(Ferric Pyrophosphate, Ferric Sodium Pyrophosphate, Ferris Lactate)
Added to enriched breads and to cereals and grains, these additives may not have been adequately tested for safety. Secondly, recent studies show that too much iron may increase your risk of heart attack. It is one thing to take an iron suppliment when you need one; and another to have it shoved down your unsuspecting throat, in the foods you consume. In particular, not reccomended for pregnant women, people with ulcers, or people with a condition called hemochromatosis, for whom even a normal intake of iron can be toxic.
