Could your body be warning you that your arteries are already narrowing? Dr. Eric Westman reacts to five physical signs that may point to atherosclerosis, including exertional leg pain, carotid artery changes, and other symptoms linked to reduced blood flow.

The key message is that artery disease often develops silently for years before symptoms appear. Dr. Westman explains why signs such as claudication, chest tightness, mini-stroke symptoms, and other circulation problems should be taken seriously and why early assessment matters before the disease reaches a dangerous stage.
