Al Marsad newspaper: Feeling a certain sensation following walking is a warning sign that cholesterol is taking over the arteries.

It is noteworthy that the plaques are a mixture of fatty substances, cellular waste products, calcium and fibrin, according to the newspaper “Express”.

Lack of blood flow to your legs also sometimes leads to a common condition known as peripheral artery disease (PAD). The first symptom of PAD can also be an uncomfortable sensation known as a “Charlie horse” muscle spasm, which occurs in Any muscle in the body, but most often in the leg.

And when the muscle is in a state of spasm, it contracts without your control and does not relax, and your muscles may feel tired. .

PAD eventually causes other symptoms, including:

1- A burning or aching pain in your toes, especially at night while sleeping.

2-redness or change in your skin color.

3-Infection.

4- Toe ulcers that do not heal.
