This is the unknown symptom of heart attack

Most people associate heart disease with some more obvious symptoms in the legs and feet, this is called peripheral edema in the medical dictionary.

So be careful if you notice leg swelling.

They are easier to distinguish when after removing the socks there are marked marks on the joints, while experts warn that swelling can be a sign of problems with the heart, when the heart does not pump blood enough, fluid from the blood vessels can flow into the surrounding tissues and lead to swelling.

Edemas appear easily on the feet and soles of the feet, on the ankles, due to gravity. 

It is important to note that most people who have peripheral edema do not have heart disease, although it is important to get medical tests done, because this can be a sign of heart problems.

For example, it is common to have swollen feet during pregnancy or swollen hands and feet during an airplane flight. But persistent problems with their swelling could be a sign that your heart isn't working properly, experts say.

As one of the more serious causes of peripheral edema, they cite congestive heart failure, that is, a condition where the heart is too weak to pump blood efficiently.
