Heart diseases are no longer limited to only older people. Rapidly changing lifestyle and increasing stress is also pushing the younger generation towards heart diseases. People usually consider symptoms of heart attack to be limited to chest pain, breathlessness or sweating. But according to medical experts, some changes in the body, especially the feet, can also point to the worsening health of the heart.

According to a recent health report, about 46% of people do not recognize symptoms that can be seen as an initial warning. Experts believe that if these signs are understood in time, fatal conditions like heart attack can be avoided.

Signs appearing in the feet before heart attack:
1. Swelling in Feet & Ankles:

When the heart is not able to pump blood properly, then the lower parts of the body – especially the legs and ankles, starts swelling. This can be a sign of fluid retention.

2. Stay cold of the feet:

If the skin of the feet feels colder than normal, it can be a sign of disturbances in blood circulation, which indicates heart failure.

3. Blue or purple of the skin of the feet:

If blood flow is not being done completely, then lack of oxygen can change the skin color. This condition can be associated with severe heart diseases.

4. Suddenly severe pain or cramps (while walking especially):

Pain or cramps while walking in the feet can be a sign of peripheral artery disease (PAD), which is directly associated with heart diseases.

5. Feeling of the veins of the feet and feeling heaviness:

Constant heaviness, fatigue or stretch in the nerves should also not be ignored.

What do experts say?

“Blood circulation in our body is directly to the health of the heart. When the heart is weak, the effect is first visible on the legs like the ends. Swelling, coldness or change in the feet should not be avoided as normal,”

Caution and solution:

Do not take any unusual symptoms lightly.

Get BP, cholesterol and sugar check regularly.

A balanced diet, exercise and adequate sleep are necessary for heart health.

Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol.
