Speaking with Express.co.uk, Doctor Joseph Ambani, from GlowBar says that “cold” or “cramping” feet could indicate high cholesterol.
“High cholesterol can manifest in the feet,” he explained.
“For instance, an individual may feel cramps when moving, but gets relief with rest.
“They may also feel chilly or cold, regardless of the season.
“It does not have to be on both feet. If you notice such, I recommend seeking immediate professional clarification,” he adds.
