  1. Symptoms of Poor Blood Circulation Disease If you frequently experience sensations of your legs and feet falling asleep, or if they feel swollen, restless, and heavy, these may be indicative signs of poor circulation. While poor circulation is not a standalone health condition, it frequently serves as an important indicator that an underlying issue requires attention. One potential culprit for poor circulation is vein disease, also known as venous insufficiency, which serves as the underlying cause of varicose veins and spider veins.

  2. Below, we discuss what causes poor circulation, poor circulation symptoms, disease with poor circulation and poor circulation in legs. If you have additional questions, we recommend consulting a vein specialist. Common Poor Circulation Symptoms Poor circulation is when your extremities, such as the legs, ankles, and feet, do not receive sufficient blood and oxygen. When this occurs, you may develop one or more of the following symptoms. Cold feet or legs: Reduced blood flow in your feet or legs can cause them to feel colder than other parts of your body. If you experience coldness in your feet or legs, make sure to talk to your doctor. Swollen legs, ankles, or feet: When your veins can’t push blood upward towards your heart, it can collect in your lower extremities. This blood pooling puts extra pressure on the area, causing fluid buildup and swelling. Muscle cramping: Inconsistent blood flow may lead to muscle cramps, aches, and pains. Since there are many causes of muscle cramping besides poor blood circulation, we recommend seeking medical evaluation for this symptom. Numbness: Poor circulation may cause you to experience a tingling or numbing sensation in your thighs, calves, or feet. This can be a sign of venous insufficiency. Changes in skin color: A lack of adequate blood flow can lead to skin discoloration. Most often, this affects the legs, ankles, or feet. Venous ulcers: Over time, a break in the skin on your leg can become larger and more painful. Without treatment, venous ulcers take a long time to heal or may not heal at all.

  3. Varicose veins: When blood pools in your veins due to poor circulation, it places pressure on the veins and causes them to expand. Over time, varicose veins can develop. If you experience one or more signs of poor blood circulation disease, be sure to bring them to the attention of a medical professional. Once the underlying cause is identified, poor circulation treatment can be offered to alleviate painful and uncomfortable symptoms.
