Is It Age – or P.A.D. That’s Slowing You Down?

You’re out walking, or you’re climbing the stairs. Your legs or feet ache. Maybe they start to cramp. You’re relieved when you stop moving because the pain goes away.

It’s just part of getting older, right? Not necessarily.

Discomfort in your legs or feet while exercising could be a sign of a serious, vascular disease: Peripheral Arterial Disease, or P.A.D. September is P.A.D. Awareness Month, and Life Line Screening wants to remind you and your family members to take advantage of your member benefit. For $135 you can be screened for P.A.D. and three other tests, including Carotid Artery Screening (stroke), Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm screening (AAA) and an Atrial Fibrillation Screening which checks for an irregular heartbeat. Call 1-866-964-5845 and

mention Priority Code: CSMS – 007 to find the next screening event in your community.

Everyone over age 50 is at risk for P.A.D., and your risk increases if you:

· Smoke, or used to smoke

· Have diabetes

· Have high blood pressure

· Have abnormal blood cholesterol

· Are African American

· A personal history of coronary heart disease or stroke

ONLY 25% OF PAD PATIENTS ARE UNDERGOING
