Peripheral vascular disease

 

Help from your Podiatrist in Orange County California

 

Peripheral artery disease is a common circulatory problem in which narrowed
arteries reduce blood flow to your limbs.

Symptoms

 

Leg pain when walking (intermittent claudication)
Pain when laying flat on the bed

Peripheral artery disease is also likely to be a sign of a more widespread
accumulation of fatty deposits in your arteries (atherosclerosis). This
condition may be reducing blood flow to your heart and brain, as well as your legs.

Often, you can successfully relieve early symptoms of peripheral artery disease by quitting tobacco,
exercising and eating a healthy diet.
