Doctor warns leg pain may indicate PAD, a heart disease risk.
A BBC doctor warned that waking up with leg pain should not be dismissed as normal aging.
Dr. Xand van Tulleken explained on BBC Morning Live that such symptoms could signal peripheral artery disease (PAD), where narrowed blood vessels reduce blood flow to the legs, causing pain similar to angina that eases with rest.
He urged viewers to seek medical evaluation to check for other signs like cold feet or non-healing ulcers, as PAD shares risk factors with heart attacks and strokes.
