If you notice this happening to your feet, you may have a serious health problem. Get your blood checked immediately

 

3. Cramping
The odd foot cramp is nothing serious. But if you find your feet cramping regularly there may be several reasons, such as being dehydrated or you have been working out too hard.

Cramping feet may also be an indication of a deficiency in potassium, calcium, or magnesium. If that is the case, you can try stretching your feet before going to bed and adding more calcium and magnesium rich foods to your diet.

You can also add more potassium by eating more bananas. If the situation doesn’t improve, you should consult a physician.

4. Numb or Tingling Feet
We’ve all experienced what it’s like to have our feet “fall asleep” at some point in our lives, but when they’re chronically numb, it can be a symptom of damage to your peripheral nervous system-peripheral neuropathy.

This is something you should get checked immediately as chronic numbness can be serious and caused by several things including diabetes and alcohol abuse.

5. Swelling in the foot
This kind of swelling comes from fluid retention called peripheral edema. The doctor will check this by pressing his finger on the swollen area. It is not always caused by heart disease, but when it is, it is because your heart is not pumping blood properly, resulting in fluid leaks from the blood vessels into the tissues.

If you do see a variance in your feet and toes, contact your physician to make sure there isn’t anything serious.
