Warning Signs of Blockaged Arteries in Your Legs: Be Aware, Stay Healthy!
Blocked arteries in your legs, also known as peripheral artery disease (PAD), occur when blood vessels become narrowed or clogged due to plaque buildup. Symptoms include pain or cramping in legs, hips, or buttocks while walking, weakness or fatigue in legs, coldness or paleness of skin on feet and toes, and abnormal sensations like numbness or tingling. Age, smoking, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol increase the risk of PAD. Regular exercise, quitting smoking, managing blood pressure and cholesterol through medication or diet, and maintaining a balanced diet can help slow down progression. Medications, minimally invasive procedures, and surgical surgery may be options for treatment if symptoms persist or worsen.
