Dizziness/Lightheadedness
Dizziness (sensation of personal or environment spinning) or lightheadedness (sensation of almost losing consciousness) is one of the most common symptoms experienced. One possible cause is a blockage in the neck arteries (carotid artery disease). Evaluation by a vascular specialist may be needed. Contact Premier Heart today for an appointment.
Leg numbness
Leg numbness, tingling or a decreased sensation in the legs (or upper extremities) may be due to abnormal blood flow. This may signify significant peripheral arterial or venous disease and should be evaluated by a vascular specialist. Contact Premier Heart today for an appointment.
Leg discomfort
Leg discomfort (or pain) is a very common symptom with multiple possible causes. Poor blood flow from artery or vein disease is a potential cause that should be evaluated by a vascular specialist. Contact Premier Heart today for an appointment.
Leg swelling
Leg swelling (edema) is a very common symptom with multiple possible causes. Heart failure may be the reason, and this should be evaluated by a cardiologist. Abnormal leg veins are very common, and this should be evaluated by a vascular specialist. Contact Premier Heart today for an appointment.
Non-healing Leg Ulcer
A non- (or poorly) healing leg ulcer is a potentially very severe condition which can lead to loss of limb or life. There are many causes of leg ulcers, and one is vascular disease (artery and/or vein). This should be evaluated urgently by a vascular specialist. Contact Premier Heart today for an appointment.
