Are Your Arteries Clogged? 9 Symptoms Doctors Look For

Can your feet reveal circulation problems before you notice chest symptoms? ❤️ Discover possible signs of peripheral artery disease, how circulation is tested, and the treatments that can reduce cardiovascular and limb risks. Dr. Tom Biernacki, double board-certified podiatric surgeon and founder of Balance Foot & Ankle, explains clogged arteries, atherosclerosis, peripheral artery disease, and important changes that may appear in the legs and feet. Some foot findings may suggest poor arterial circulation, but no single skin, nail, eye, or ear sign can diagnose a blocked artery. Swollen ankles and varicose veins usually involve venous or systemic problems rather than arterial blockage. Proper diagnosis requires a medical history, examination, and testing such as an ankle-brachial index. Atherosclerosis usually cannot be reversed quickly. Treatment focuses on slowing or stabilizing plaque, lowering heart attack and stroke risk, improving walking ability, healing wounds, and restoring blood flow when necessary.
