Dubai, United Arab Emirates – The feet are a mirror of the body’s health, as they may reveal warning signs of health problems that should not be ignored, as some changes in them constitute early indicators of serious diseases.

Doctors stress the need not to ignore the signs that appear on the feet, and to consider them early signs that require examination and medical follow-up, especially for people who suffer from chronic diseases, or have a family history of heart disease or diabetes. According to WebMD.

cold feet

If your feet are constantly cold, it may be an indication of poor circulation, caused by smoking, high blood pressure, or heart problems. This condition may also be associated with diabetes, hypothyroidism, or anemia.

foot pain

While uncomfortable shoes can sometimes be the cause, unexplained pain in the feet can be linked to a bone injury resulting from strenuous sports such as running or basketball, or from thinning of the bones.

Nail discoloration

White, blue or red nails may indicate Raynaud’s disease, which causes a defect in blood vessels and often appears when temperatures change. This disease may also be associated with arthritis or thyroid disorders.

heel pain

Heel pain is a common symptom of ligament inflammation, and it gets worse in the morning. It may also result from excessive exercise or wearing tight shoes. In rare cases, it may be caused by osteitis, a tumor, or a fracture.

persistent swelling

Although swelling may be normal after standing or sitting for long periods, especially during pregnancy, permanent swelling may indicate serious conditions such as poor blood circulation, lymphatic system disorders, or blood clots, which requires urgent medical advice.

burning sensation

Diabetics often suffer from it due to nerve damage. It may also be linked to vitamin B deficiency, chronic kidney disease, or hypothyroidism.

Ulcers that do not heal

Ulcers that do not heal are prominent warning signs for diabetics. High sugar levels can affect sensation and blood circulation in the feet, leading to chronic ulcers prone to inflammation. Diabetics are advised to examine and care for their feet daily to avoid complications.
