Health Tip: Do Your Feet Have Poor Circulation?

Posted on:  HealthDay News

 Poor circulation of the legs and feet -- often a result of high blood pressure -- can lead to serious complications including open wounds that don't heal properly.

The American Podiatric Medical Association says warning signs of poor circulation in the legs and feet may include:

• Frequent cramps in your legs and feet, especially when you exercise.
• Open sores on the feet or legs that take a long time to heal or don't heal at all.
• A change in the color or temperature of your legs or feet.
• Loss of hair on your feet or legs.
