Lower Pulse Readings In Feet. Angiogram Done, No Blockage. What Does This Mean?
I had an Angiogram done last week and the nurse took the pulse in my feet and said the left one was lower than my right one.
Today when she did it she couldn't find a pulse right away in the left one. I don't have results yet. Other than I didn't have a blockage. What does it mean to have low pulse readings in your feet?
hello sir thanks for the query low pulse feet can be due to multiple reasons most commonly diabetics,smokers etc...if the pulse is low usually u ll be symptomatic in the orm of pain while walking and numbness then we usually advice arterial doppler to see the pathology if the doppler dosent show any plaques or any kind of obstruction nothing to worry...pls get back with smoking history and diabetic history...
thank you regards
