🩺 “I feel fine. Why would I need an artery screening?”

That’s exactly the point.

Artery disease can develop quietly, sometimes before obvious symptoms appear. If your doctor recommends an artery screening, they may be looking at your age, medical history, circulation concerns, or risk factors and trying to identify a problem before it becomes a bigger one.

Early detection can help uncover circulation issues, narrowing or blockages and give you and your doctor more information about your vascular health.

❤️ Feeling fine is wonderful. Staying ahead of what you can’t feel is even better.

🚶‍♀️ Do your legs ache, cramp, burn, feel heavy, or become unusually tired when you walk, then feel better after you rest?

It may not simply be age, the Florida heat, or being out of shape. These symptoms can be a warning sign of poor circulation or Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). 🩺🦵

PAD occurs when narrowed or blocked arteries reduce blood flow to the legs and feet. Left untreated, it may lead to worsening pain, slow-healing wounds, ulcers, and more serious cardiovascular risks.

Don’t ignore the pain or try to “push through it.” Learn what your legs may be telling you and when it is time to schedule a vascular evaluation. ❤️

🦶 Are your feet always cold, numb, or tingling?

It might not be “just poor circulation” or “getting older.”

Persistent cold feet, pins and needles, numbness, calf cramping while walking, skin color changes, or slow-healing sores can sometimes be warning signs of reduced blood flow or Peripheral Artery Disease, also known as PAD. 🚨

PAD happens when plaque builds up in the arteries and limits blood flow to the legs and feet. The sooner it is evaluated, the better.

At West Florida Vascular & Vein, our team can help determine whether your symptoms are related to a vascular issue and what your next steps should be. 🩺

Don’t ignore what your feet are trying to tell you.
