Cardiologist: Your Feet Give The #1 EARLY Warning of Heart Disease. Here's What To Look For.

Are you dismissing aches and pains in your feet and legs as just 'part of getting older'? A top cardiologist warns this could be a critical mistake. Those seemingly minor issues—cold toes, calf cramps when you walk, or changes in your skin—might be your body's earliest and most important warning signs of serious heart trouble. In this in-depth guide, we uncover the vital, often-overlooked connection between your feet and your cardiovascular health. We'll dismantle the dangerous myth that foot pain is a normal part of aging and reveal how podiatrists are often the first line of defense in spotting heart conditions like Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) and Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). You will learn a simple, 5-minute daily inspection that can help you spot the silent signals your body is sending, long before a major cardiac event occurs. We'll also equip you with the precise language to use so that when you talk to your doctor, your concerns are taken seriously. It's time to stop worrying and start listening.
