Over 70? 12 Silent Heart Failure Warnings Hiding in Your Legs & Feet

If you’re over 70, your legs and feet might be sending heart warnings that no one ever told you to watch for.

In this video, geriatric physician Dr. Eli Morgan walks you through 12 silent congestive heart failure symptoms in the legs and feet – including ankle swelling, cold feet, skin changes, restless legs at night, and more.

Most people expect heart failure to start with chest pain. In reality, millions of older adults first notice clues in their ankles, toes, skin, and walking ability – and dismiss them as “just getting old.”

You’ll learn:
How to do the 10-second ankle press test for pitting edema
Why cold feet that never warm up can be a circulation warning
What fast weight gain in your legs and belly really means
How shiny, tight skin and slow-healing sores signal fluid overload
The surprising link between restless legs at night and heart failure
When numbness, tingling, and “jelly legs” may be more than age

⚠️ This video is for education only and does not replace your own doctor.
If you notice several of these signs – especially together with shortness of breath, chest discomfort, or sudden fatigue – please contact your healthcare provider or go to urgent care.
