🔻 4. Change in skin color of the feet.
Cyanosis—a bluish or dark discoloration of the skin—indicates a lack of oxygen in the blood. When the heart fails to respond, tissues receive less oxygen, which is especially noticeable in the feet.
What to pay attention to:
Bluish or gray-purple coloring.
Spotted or “marble” pattern.
The fingers appear “lifeless.”
🔻 5. Slow healing of wounds and ulcers.
Poor circulation prevents nutrients and oxygen from reaching the tissues, which is why even minor foot injuries heal slowly. This creates a risk of infections, which puts additional strain on the heart.
What to pay attention to:
Small cuts, blisters, or scrapes may take several days to heal.
The wounds remain moist, discharge appears or scabs fall off and form again.
Appearance of painful ulcers, particularly on the heels or toes.
