Cardiologist Dr. Punya Pratap warns that persistent leg swelling, pain, or cramping can be indicators of underlying heart inefficiency or peripheral artery disease.
Warning signs include cold feet, changes in skin color, numbness, weakness, and slow-healing sores, which require professional medical evaluation.
Patients with diabetes, high blood pressure, or a history of smoking are advised to monitor leg changes and maintain heart health through daily exercise and regular check-ups.
