 Seems like yesterday. Took my walk. Felt great. Suddenly I'm on the ground, dying of a heart attack. Peripheral arterial disease or clogged arteries in the legs makes you up to six times more likely to die from heart disease or stroke. Only half of all people with PAD feel any painful symptoms. Never felt it coming. If you're over 50, talk to your doctor about getting tested for PAD. For a free heart and soul kit, call 1-866-PAD-INFO or visit padcoalition.org.
