According to the NHS, a common sign of PAD is "brittle, slow-growing toenails", the Mirror reports. Symptoms of PAD can appear slowly, and a "cramping" feeling in the legs may only last for a few minutes at a time, while unexplained hair loss on legs and feet might also be a sign that something is wrong.
Speaking on PAD, heart specialist Patrick Coughlin told the British Heart Foundation: “People are at an increased risk as they age. About one in five people over 60 in the UK have some degree of PAD.
“The same things that raise your risk of heart disease and stroke – including smoking, diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure – also raise your risk of PAD. In particular, we are seeing a rise in PAD as a result of increased cases of diabetes. It affects both men and women and sometimes it can run in
