In the early stages, PAD can present no symptoms at all. However, when symptoms do occur, they can be disruptive to everyday life and lead to complications. The key is to recognize the warning signs of PAD, so it can be detected and treated early before it progresses. Symptoms of PAD can be caused by various conditions, which is why it’s important to work with a vascular specialist if you suspect you may have these common symptoms.
