High blood pressure<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h4></p><p>If you’re experiencing a disturbing feeling of swollen legs, the reason may be excess fluid that’s building up in your lower legs. Usually, it’s not painful by itself, but wearing socks may feel uncomfortable. High blood pressure is caused by fluid retention and makes it hard for the heart to transport blood throughout the body. The body responds by holding onto fluid that usually settles in the legs and feet.</p><p><h4><span class="ez-toc-section" id="2_Varicose_veins"></span>2. Varicose veins<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h4></p><p>When the veins in your legs become weakened, they can’t return blood to your heart quickly enough. Blood then backs up in your leg veins and leads to painful swelling. This condition is one of the contributing factors to varicose veins. If you’re getting sock marks regularly, your body might be trying to send you a signal that your veins don’t let blood flow back up to your heart.</p><p><h4><span class="ez-toc-section" id="3"></span>3.<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h4><p><img class="lazy lazy-hidden" src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/avatars.mds.yandex.net/get-mpic/1865723/img_id499575916015957543.jpeg/orig' /><noscript><img src='/800/600/https/avatars.mds.yandex.net/get-mpic/1865723/img_id499575916015957543.jpeg/orig' /></noscript> Dehydration</h4></p><p>If your body doesn’t get enough water, it may damage your blood vessels. Damaged veins may begin to create small leaks that allow fluid to build up in the surrounding tissue. Common places for this fluid to be collected are around the ankles and feet. Sock marks that appear around your ankles may indicate that your body is dehydrated.</p><p><h4><span class="ez-toc-section" id="4_Side_effects_from_medication"></span>4. Side effects from medication<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h4></p><p>Certain medications can also cause lower leg swelling. Some kinds of antidepressants and blood pressure medications may lead to the unpleasant feeling of swollen feet. Certain types of contraception (especially birth control pills that contain estrogen) can change hormone levels in a woman’s body and cause water retention and leg swelling.</p><p><h4><span class="ez-toc-section" id="Bonus_what_to_do_if_you_get_sock_marks_regularly"></span>Bonus: what to do if you get sock marks regularly<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h4></p><p>If sock marks appear on your legs regularly, it’s best to consult a doctor.

However, your legs may be signaling underlying health conditions. Peripheral edema is one of them. If the marks are mild and do not happen often, then you should not worry. If the marks recur or the swelling gets worse, it could be a sign of a chronic health problem such as diabetes or heart disease.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/noski.me/wa-data/public/shop/products/55/28/12855/images/16138/16138.970.jpg' /><noscript><img src='/800/600/https/noski.me/wa-data/public/shop/products/55/28/12855/images/16138/16138.970.jpg' /></noscript> </p><p>Sock indentation marks often take the exact shape of the socks worn. These indentations are not normal even when they happen occasionally and should be evaluated by a health professional. </p><h3></h3><p><strong>Peripheral Edema is The Most Common Trigger </strong></h3><p>Your feet, ankle, and lower legs are the most common places you will see edema resulting from fluid buildup in your body. Defined as palpable swelling resulting from increased fluid volumes in a tissue, it can happen in any part of your body. But because of the forces of gravity, it appears as painless swelling in the lower extremities of your body. Understand that there is localized and generalized edema. Generalized appears in the form of collected fluid volumes in many body organs, and localized occurs in certain parts of your body. Leg edema is the most common localized type. </p><p> Peripheral edema is not painful and is mostly caused by a systemic problem within your kidney or heart or issues with veins within the area affected.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/nosmag.ru/uploads/photos/23f15ac4b027578749404a08bafbe902.jpg' /><noscript><img src='/800/600/https/nosmag.ru/uploads/photos/23f15ac4b027578749404a08bafbe902.jpg' /></noscript> If you only have swellings in the legs without pitting, you could be having problems with your lymphatic system or thyroid. Pitting edema is when indentations are left when pressure is applied behind on the skin. The skin around the affected area may feel heavy and tight, and could also appear stretched and shiny. </p><h3></h3><p><strong>How Does Peripheral Edema Occur? </strong></h3><p>Edema occurs when fluid from the capillaries flow inside the interstitial space. The condition can be a clinical sign of various diseases, with its progression often accompanied by physiological changes. It is a process triggered by increased pressure within the smallest blood vessels – the capillaries. Capillaries distribute oxygenated blood to tissues and transport it to the veins from the tissues. </p><p>Pressure build-up within the capillaries forces water out of the blood vessels and distribute it in the tissues. This then leads to an increase of protein in the blood causing more fluid to be pushed back to the vessels.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/sun1-94.userapi.com/SE8sjZRj8KL7CoQPo4kgdBe2qQt5RVb08Az7Ew/ueTvnF7Vh4Y.jpg' /><noscript><img src='/800/600/https/sun1-94.userapi.com/SE8sjZRj8KL7CoQPo4kgdBe2qQt5RVb08Az7Ew/ueTvnF7Vh4Y.jpg' /></noscript> The factors contributing to the formation of periphery edema include: </p><ul><li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" aria-setsize="-1" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1">Obstructed lymphatic drainage </li><li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" aria-setsize="-1" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1">Increased hydrostatic pressure </li><li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" aria-setsize="-1" data-aria-posinset="3" data-aria-level="1">Increased vessel wall permeability </li><li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" aria-setsize="-1" data-aria-posinset="4" data-aria-level="1">Water retention in tissues </li><li data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="1" aria-setsize="-1" data-aria-posinset="4" data-aria-level="1">Increased tissue oncotic pressure</li></ul><h3></h3><p><strong>What Causes Peripheral Edema? </strong></h3><p>Older people are at a higher risk of having large collections of fluid around the feet.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/sockston.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Tennis-Double-Line.jpg' /><noscript><img src='/800/600/https/sockston.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Tennis-Double-Line.jpg' /></noscript> Standing or sitting for too long can also cause swelling. After taking off shoes or socks, you may notice socks indentation marks. The signs are not always a cause for worry, unless the pitting does not clear up quickly. One of the most serious causes of peripheral edema is venous insufficiency. Certain antidepressants such as blood pressure medications can also contribute to the occurrence of edema. Should you swell when you’re under medication, let your doctor know. </p><h3></h3><p><strong>Venous Insufficiency </strong></h3><p>Venous insufficiency is a condition that can be signaled by swollen feet and sock indentation marks. If you have had clots in your legs, you may be at risk of this condition. When the walls of the veins inside your legs become weak, and the valves repelling blood into your veins get damaged, venous insufficiency is likely to occur. Because of the damage to the valves, some of the blood flows back and collects in the veins of the legs and feet. Compression stockings, in this case, will be necessary to maintain a steady flow of blood.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/avatars.mds.yandex.net/get-mpic/1937077/img_id8475130368638062285.jpeg/orig' /><noscript><img src='/800/600/https/avatars.mds.yandex.net/get-mpic/1937077/img_id8475130368638062285.jpeg/orig' /></noscript> Avoid tight socks that could leave indentations behind. </p><h3></h3><p><strong>When to See Your Doctor </strong></h3><p>Persistent peripheral edema needs a physical examination for proper diagnosis. Because some conditions linked to sock marks and swelling are serious, the underlying cause needs to be established. Edema resolves after the treatment of the underlying cause. A detailed medical history, imaging tests, urine, and blood tests may be needed. </p><p>If only one leg is affected, there could be a possibility of cellulitis. Sock marks could also be a sign of existing blood clots in the leg, a condition known as deep vein thrombosis. Report this to your doctor immediately to prevent the clot from finding its way to the lungs. Should it settle in your lungs, pulmonary embolism, a fatal condition could set in. </p><p>Peripheral edema becomes more apparent with age and can often be controlled with home care such as elevating the legs, limiting the dietary intake of sodium, and standing less.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1lxLCRXXXXXbwapXXq6xXFXXXN/COSPLACOOL.jpg' /><noscript><img src='/800/600/https/ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1lxLCRXXXXXbwapXXq6xXFXXXN/COSPLACOOL.jpg' /></noscript> If it persists, it may be a signal of severe illnesses such as congestive heart failure.

Edema may appear as “sock marks” on your legs and ankles at the end of the day, especially if you wear tight socks or hose. Mild peripheral edema is common. Your doctor may check for this sign by pressing a finger against your ankle or shin bone to see if a depression or dent is left behind. This is called “pitting edema” and it could indicate congestive heart failure.</p><p>Edema may be a sign of heart failure because when your heart is not pumping well, fluid from inside your blood vessels tends to leak out into surrounding tissues. The legs and ankles are common areas for edema because of the effects of gravity.</p><p>“Peripheral edema may be caused by a host of issues,” says Dr. Orringer. “The bottom line is that most people with peripheral edema do not have heart disease, but it could be an important sign if there are other signs and symptoms of heart failure.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/cf.shopee.sg/file/5ce23ae3d2c25b18c6049722800c9e63' /><noscript><img src='/800/600/https/cf.shopee.sg/file/5ce23ae3d2c25b18c6049722800c9e63' /></noscript> “</p><h3></h3><p><strong>Male Pattern Baldness</strong></h3><p>“If you watched any of the royal wedding, you might have noticed that Prince William is balding on the top of his head. This type of balding of the crown of the head in young men may be a sign of an increased risk for heart disease,” says Orringer.</p><p>Several large studies have confirmed the link between baldness and heart disease. Compared with men with a full head of hair, men with crown loss have an increased risk of heart disease of about 23 percent. Men with complete loss of hair on the top of their head have an increased risk of 36 percent.</p><p>The combination of hair loss, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol pushes the risk even higher. This link may be due to too much of the male hormone testosterone, which interferes with hair growth on the head and causes hardening of the arteries. That doesn’t mean you are doomed to heart disease if you are bald, but it does suggest you should be screened more carefully for other signs and symptoms of heart disease.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/21-shop.ru/upload/blog/brendy/soks/socks3.jpg' /><noscript><img src='/800/600/https/21-shop.ru/upload/blog/brendy/soks/socks3.jpg' /></noscript></p><h3></h3><p><strong>Yellow Bumps on the Skin</strong></h3><p>Xanthomas are deposits of fat that build up under the skin. They may appear as small yellow bumps or as flat, wide plaques on your elbows, knees, hands, feet, or buttocks. A type of xanthoma called xanthelasma palpebrarum appears on the eyelids. These yellow, fat deposits can potentially be signs of heart disease because they may indicate high levels of fats in the blood.</p><p>“Xanthomas may be a sign of a rare, inherited type of blood disorder in which high levels of triglycerides accumulate in the blood. Xanthomas may also be a sign of increased cholesterol, and they may disappear once cholesterol levels are under control,” says Orringer.</p><h3></h3><p><strong>Gum Disease</strong></h3><p>Swollen, sore, or bleeding gums are usually a sign of poor oral hygiene, but may also be an important sign of heart disease. “The association between gum disease and heart disease is the real deal,” says Orringer. “There is plenty of research available now that backs up this connection.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/b.backbook.me/file/2017/09/12/95/full_619e1982bb.jpg' /><noscript><img src='/800/600/https/b.backbook.me/file/2017/09/12/95/full_619e1982bb.jpg' /></noscript> “</p><p>Gum disease and heart disease may be linked because they are both signs of poor circulation, or there could be common bacteria that are involved in both gum disease and plaque buildup inside coronary arteries. The link may also have something to do with the body’s response to prolonged inflammation. In any case, taking better care of your teeth and gums may be a good way to cut down your risk for heart disease.</p><h3></h3><p><strong>Emotional Stress</strong></h3><p>Weakening of the heart muscle accompanied by extreme emotional stress, grief, or loss, especially in women, is called takotsubo cardiomyopathy, or broken heart syndrome. When this occurs, surging stress hormones, especially adrenaline, trigger cardiac pain that feels a lot like a heart attack, often with heart palpitations, shortness of breath, and flushing. But unlike during a real heart attack, the arteries are not blocked. This potentially serious and often overlooked condition is more common in women than in men; in fact, men make up for only 10 percent of diagnosed cases.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/cs8.pikabu.ru/post_img/2016/04/27/4/og_og_1461733878294310149.jpg' /><noscript><img src='/800/600/https/cs8.pikabu.ru/post_img/2016/04/27/4/og_og_1461733878294310149.jpg' /></noscript></p><h3></h3><p><strong>Signs of Heart Failure</strong></h3><p>Heart failure means the heart is not functioning as well as it should. It doesn’t mean the heart has failed. Another term for heart failure is congestive heart failure, or CHF. Heart failure gradually gets worse over time. Some early warning signs may include:</p><p><strong>Weight Gain</strong> If your heart starts to fail and fluid starts to build up in your tissue, causing edema, you might see a sudden weight gain.</p><p><strong>Frequent Urination</strong> Heart failure may cause decreased blood flow to the kidneys, which causes you to retain more fluid. One of the signs of this fluid may be frequent urination.</p><p><strong>Cataracts</strong> Although the exact cause of the relationship between cataracts and heart disease is not known, studies show that people who have cataracts are at higher risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. “This link is probably more of an association than a sign of heart disease,” says Orringer.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTQ0OVgxNjAw/z/TKcAAOSwoydWlGLo/$_57.JPG' /><noscript><img src='/800/600/https/i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTQ0OVgxNjAw/z/TKcAAOSwoydWlGLo/$_57.JPG' /></noscript></p><p><strong>Nighttime Cough</strong> “One of the signs of heart failure may be the buildup of fluid in the chest and heart when lying flat at night. This increased fluid can cause a nighttime cough,” explains Orringer.</p><p>Remember that all these heart disease signs may have many different causes. They do not mean you have or will get heart disease. But combined with other heart disease signs and symptoms, your blood tests, and your family history, they give your doctor the best chance to find heart disease early and keep you in good health.</p><h2><span class="ez-toc-section" id="How_to_remove_creases_and_dents_on_sneakers"></span> How to remove creases and dents on sneakers <span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2><p> Creases and dents on sneakers are a phenomenon that is familiar to every lover of such shoes.

With careful wear and gentle care, folds are almost invisible. The deepest creases occur due to improper use and storage of shoes.</p></p><p> In addition, cracks are more likely to form on flat-soled shoes, as they flex the foot more. The features of the model are an important factor influencing the formation of creases. If shoes are sewn from small fragments, have decorative elements or a toe separated by a transverse seam, then they are less susceptible to such deformations.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1646/4445/articles/seamless-socks-bohemian_2048x.png' /><noscript><img src='/800/600/https/cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1646/4445/articles/seamless-socks-bohemian_2048x.png' /></noscript> Boots made from a large one-piece piece with only one seam in the back tend to crack the folds faster when walking.</p></p><p> Another reason for the appearance of wrinkles on shoes is the wrong size or width of the shoe.

As a rule, thick and rough leather is treated with a steamer, but bags made of thin and soft leather can bounce back on their own.</p></p><p> Oil – will help to deal with creases</p><p> Another way to restore the original surface of the bag is to use oil.
