5 signs of PAD that can feel like heart problems 🫀

PAD is often mistaken for heart-related issues. Watch for these common signs:

• Leg pain or cramping with activity
• Heavy or tired legs
• Numbness or tingling in the feet or toes
• Cold feet or lower legs
• Skin color changes or slow-healing wounds

If these symptoms sound familiar, it may be a circulation issue.

Lets get to the heart of the problem. Its Vascular.
Heart disease isn’t just about the heart, it’s about blood flow everywhere. Your heart and vascular system work hand in hand, and when one is affected, the other often is too. Caring for your arteries and veins is caring for your heart, and might just get to the real heart of the problem.
