A lesser known symptom of a heart disease felt in the legs means people could have up to five times greater chance of having a heart attack.
Also known as coronary disease, the illness is a major cause of death in the UK. It can be fatal when the heart's blood supply is blocked or interrupted by a buildup of fatty substances in the arteries of the heart, causing pressure, aching or a squeezing feeling in the chest.
With 11 percent of men and nine percent of women diagnosed with a heart condition, it's important to know the signs of one lesser known condition - PAD (peripheral arterial disease). One sign is felt in the legs, warns a Scottish cardiology expert.
This can be felt a "gripping" or "cramping" feeling in the legs, says David Newby, British Heart Foundation (BHF) John Wheatley Professor of Cardiology at the BHF Centre of Research Excellence at the University of Edinburgh, reports The Mirror.
"If you get a gripping, cramping sensation in your calves when you are walking, it might be worth seeing your doctor, as that can be a marker of PAD. It’s most common in smokers and people who have diabetes," he said.
According to the NHS, PAD is a common condition where a buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries restricts blood supply to leg muscles. The NHS says: "PAD is not immediately life-threatening, but the process of atherosclerosis that causes it can lead to serious and potentially fatal problems."
Atherosclerosis is the thickening or hardening of the arteries that is caused by a build up of plaque. It increases your risk of heart attack and stroke.
Many people with PAD have no symptoms, according to the NHS, but some develop a painful ache in their legs when they walk, which usually disappears after a few minutes' rest.
