You rely on your feet to take you places, stand in line, exercise, play sports and even dance. But did you know that your feet may also be an early warning system for heart attack?
Feet can offer subtle clues about cardiovascular health — and in some cases, they may show warning signs up to a month (or more) before a heart attack. These signs are not definitive, but they can indicate poor circulation or heart dysfunction that warrants medical attention.
Here are foot-related signs that may appear a month before a heart attack:
1. Cold Feet or Toes
Consistently cold feet, even in warm environments, may signal poor blood flow.
A weakened heart may not pump blood efficiently to the extremities.
2. Swelling (Edema) in Feet and Ankles
Puffy, swollen feet and ankles could be due to fluid retention caused by heart failure.
Often worse at the end of the day or after sitting for long periods.
3. Discoloration (Blue, Purple, or Pale Feet)
A bluish or purplish tinge can signal low oxygen delivery.
Pale or ashen feet may indicate decreased blood flow.
