Do your legs feel heavy, achy, or tired—especially at the end of the day? Many people brush it off as “just getting older” or from standing too long, but leg heaviness can actually be an early warning sign of vein disease.
Your veins carry blood back to the heart, working against gravity. They have tiny one-way valves to keep blood flowing upward. When these valves weaken or stop working properly, blood can pool in the legs. This creates pressure, swelling, and that classic “heavy” feeling.
While heaviness might not sound serious, untreated vein disease can progress over time. In some cases, it can lead to painful swelling, skin ulcers, or even blood clots. The sooner it’s caught, the easier it is to treat.
If you’re experiencing heavy legs often, talk to a vein specialist. Simple, non-invasive treatments are available to restore healthy circulation and relieve symptoms. Compression stockings, lifestyle changes, or advanced procedures can all help get your legs back to feeling light and energized.
Leg heaviness isn’t just a nuisance—it could be your body’s way of telling you something more is going on. Don’t ignore it.
