Emergency
While vitamins help, never ignore these red-flag symptoms—they may signal PAD, blood clots, or heart disease:
Leg pain when walking that goes away with rest (claudication)
One leg significantly colder, paler, or more swollen than the other
Open sores on feet or legs that won’t heal
Sudden swelling + shortness of breath (possible DVT or pulmonary embolism)
❤️ If you have diabetes or smoke, you’re at higher risk for silent PAD—ask your doctor about an ankle-brachial index (ABI) test, a simple, painless circulation screening.
