One Month Before A Heart Attack
Early Foot Warning Signs
Your feet can provide early clues to heart trouble.
While not a diagnosis, symptoms like “poor circulation or cardiovascular dysfunction”
may signal the need for medical attention and help prevent serious outcomes.
Temperature and Swelling Changes
Persistently “cold feet or toes,” even in warm conditions,
can indicate reduced blood flow from a weakened heart.
Swelling in the feet and ankles may result from fluid retention linked to heart failure,
especially if it becomes frequent or unexplained.
Color and Sensation Issues
Foot discoloration—“bluish, purplish, or pale tones”—can point to reduced oxygen or blood flow.
Numbness, tingling, or burning sensations may be associated with
peripheral artery disease (PAD), which raises heart disease risk.
Pain and Healing Problems
Pain or cramping while walking, known as “claudication,” suggests narrowed arteries.
Slow-healing foot wounds may reflect chronic circulation problems.
If these signs appear, medical evaluation is essential.
