Standing or sitting for hours at a time without getting up and walking around can cause blood to pool in your legs and feet. This isnât a serious condition, it happens only because you are not moving around. You might notice that your feet are swollen and legs feel stiff and heavy.
For those whose legs feel heavy many doctors reveal that this is one of the most serious silent killers. The reason is that when you have heavy legs the heart can seriously be failing. This is due to a circulation problem and it sneaks up and causes heart attacks often in those over 40. If you are over 50 years old the legs feel heavy feeling can signal a heart attack. Often people who feel they are in good health have no idea that they are in danger. Heavy legs can be cause by an artery in the legs that are blocked by plaque and this is where your troubles come in. Others have this condition due to weak veins that cause the blood to not circulate correctly and this can lead to varicose veins which can signal a heart problem.
