How Foot Pain Can Be a Warning Sign of Heart Problems

The Link Between Foot Pain and Heart Health: What You Need to Know

You might be surprised to learn that foot pain and your heart have a lot in common. Since the heart plays such a crucial role in many bodily functions, it’s common for conditions like foot pain to be linked to heart problems.

If you’re experiencing pain in your feet, toes, or legs, it’s important not to overlook it. Consider consulting with a podiatrist in Great Neck to discuss it, as untreated foot pain could be a sign of a larger issue, potentially related to your heart or other health concerns.

Read on to learn more about the connection between foot pain and heart health, and how to take action.

What are the causes for why foot pain is linked to heart problems?

The heart is responsible for blood flow throughout the body. When its pumping is strained or stopped, it can affect the flow of blood to the feet. This may result in foot pain or swelling. Feet need oxygen that comes from properly pumped blood, all pointing back to the health of the heart. Without a properly working, healthy heart, foot problems can arise. Podiatrist in great neck can assess your foot problems and diagnose the issues in your feet.

What are the common symptoms of foot problems that are linked to heart issues?

If your heart is affecting the pain in your feet, there are some common signs and symptoms that will likely arise. These may include:

PAD develops when plaque builds up in the arteries that carry blood from the heart to other parts of the body.

As PAD progresses, you may experience pain in your feet or toes, even while at rest. This pain can limit your ability to walk and move your feet and legs normally. If left untreated, PAD can lead to serious complications, including heart attack, stroke, or amputation.

Several risk factors may contribute to the development of PAD, including:

If you suspect your foot pain could be related to circulatory issues, a podiatrist in Great Neck can provide a proper diagnosis and guide you through the treatment options.

Dr. Alec Hochstein takes patients from start to finish when it comes to wound care. He is not satisfied until the wound is completely healed. His methods of treatment for non-healing diabetic ulcers is notable. I approached Dr. Hochstein in August of 2014, with a persistent non-healing Diabetic Ulcer. The Ulcer was deep and rather large, To date the Ulceration is microscopic thanks to the wound care treatment that was received. I'm able to live a Happy and Healthy Life thanks to Dr. Alec Hochstein and his team of employees. I highly recommend this provider for any foot care or wound care needs.
