Heavy legs can feel like a tired, heavy and sometimes painful feeling in the legs, especially after a long day of standing or sitting. This discomfort can have several causes, including poor circulation, fatigue, or even medical conditions such as varicose veins. Fortunately, there are ways to relieve and prevent the feeling of heavy legs. More info...
Possible causes of heavy legs:
- Poor circulation: Prolonged standing or sitting can disrupt circulation, leading to bloating and heaviness.
- Fatigue and overwork: Intense activity can lead to muscle fatigue and fluid accumulation in the legs.
- Hot weather: Heat can dilate blood vessels, causing heavier and tired legs.
- Medical causes: Conditions such as varicose veins or fluid accumulation can worsen the sensation.
Ways to relieve heavy legs:
- Moving and stretching: Regular exercise, such as walking or cycling, stimulates blood flow and prevents fluid accumulation.
- Feet up: Put your legs up when sitting to promote blood circulation and reduce pressure in the legs.
- Compression stockings: These stockings support blood circulation and reduce swelling in the legs.
- Hydration: Drinking enough water helps maintain fluid balance and eliminate waste products.
- Cool shower or compress: A cold shower or compress on the legs helps to constrict blood vessels and reduces the heavy feeling.
