A member asked:
I notice that often times when standing up, my left foot only and surrounding area turns red. it never happens to my right foot. just my left foot when i stand up and walk on it. my left leg/calfs ache at times. what could cause this. i am a smoker?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood vessel narrowing/ disorders do not have to be symmetrical. The left leg could be developing blood vessel narrowing/clotting issues that could be related to One's Smoking. If possible, the first thing is to Stop Smoking and then go see the PCP or Vascular Doctor for evaluation and management.
