6. Pain when walking (halting)

Pain or cramps in the feet or calves when walking may indicate peripheral arterial disease (PAD).

It is a reliable indicator of future cardiovascular events, including heart attacks.

 Important note:

These signs don’t always mean that a heart attack is imminent, but they do indicate that your cardiovascular system may be affected.

 What to do if you notice these symptoms:

Contact a doctor immediately, especially if symptoms are new or worsen.

– Be aware of other warning signs of a heart attack, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue or dizziness.

– Get your blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes and heart function checked.
