Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a condition in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the arms or legs. It’s easy to mistake PAD for other conditions like hip arthritis or spinal stenosis, which means often goes undiagnosed. Many people with PAD don’t experience symptoms at all. That’s why awareness of risk factors – such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and smoking – is crucial for screening.

Understanding the early warning signs is the first step toward timely intervention and better quality of life. In most cases, lifestyle changes, exercise and medications are enough to slow the progression or even reverse the symptoms of PAD, so talk to your doctor if you think you may be at risk.

Stroke is largely treatable, if you know the warning signs and call 911 right away. This , join Jennie Garth, Susan Lucci, Paul George and Bobby Wagner and honor someone you love by learning F.A.S.T. If you see face drooping, arm weakness or speech difficulty, it’s time to call 911.
