Heavy Feeling in Legs
The sensation of heaviness in the legs can be a common and uncomfortable experience, often indicating underlying issues related to circulation or vein health. This symptom may develop gradually and is frequently reported by individuals who spend long periods standing or sitting. Poor blood flow, varicose veins, and other circulatory problems are typical causes of a heavy feeling in the legs. The discomfort can be persistent, impacting daily activities and overall quality of life.
