How your feet may indicate heart and artery problems are obstructed

The heart is full of blood all over the body, including the pies. Otherwise, when the arteries become partially or totally obstructed, the blood flow diminishes, depriving them of oxygen. This fenómeno is called enfermedad arterial periférica (EAP) and mainly affects the piernas and the pies.

Warning signs that you should pay attention to:

Dolor en los pies o las piernas al caminar, que desaparece con el reposo;
entumecimiento or hormigueo en los pies
; heridas that scar slowly or not scar;
Cold or pale skin (sign of poor circulation).
