Chronic ulcers or slow-healing wounds on the feet are a warning sign, especially in diabetics.
6. Pain when walking (halting)
Pain or cramps in the feet or calves when walking may indicate peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
It is a reliable indicator of future cardiovascular events, including heart attacks.
Important note:
These signs don’t always mean that a heart attack is imminent, but they do indicate that your cardiovascular system may be affected.
What to do if you notice these symptoms:
Contact a doctor immediately, especially if symptoms are new or worsen.
– Be aware of other warning signs of a heart attack, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue or dizziness.
– Get your blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes and heart function checked.
