Ask about your cold toes or feet
Restricted blood flow from peripheral artery disease (PAD) can cause your feet or toes to feel colder than the rest of your body. Don’t ignore or neglect this symptom.
You might think having cold toes or feet is due to “poor circulation” or it’s a normal part of getting older. It could indicate PAD. Learn about other symptoms of PAD by reading further on this website.
Good circulation is important and it isn’t something you should ignore. Your blood helps regulate many things in your body. If blood is not easily reaching your toes and feet, those areas will experience a drop in temperature.
If you have PAD, the arteries in your legs have narrowed and hardened. This limits blood flow to your legs and feet and can make them feel cold.
