Why This Happens
When arteries are narrowed, muscles don’t receive enough oxygen-rich blood during physical activity. Rest temporarily relieves the demand, easing the pain.
2. Numbness or Weakness in the Legs
Blocked arteries can also reduce nerve function in the legs and feet. As a result, some people may notice:
- Tingling sensations
- Loss of strength
- A feeling of heaviness
These issues may start gradually and become worse over time.
Important Note
Numbness should never be ignored. It may indicate poor circulation that requires medical evaluation.
