The likelihood is you're fine, but checking for marks left by your socks could save your life
People are being urged to check for sock marks on their ankles following a warning from the British Heart Foundation.
According to the British Heart Foundation : “Heart and circulatory diseases cause a quarter of all deaths in the UK, that’s more than 160,000 deaths each year – an average of 460 deaths each day, or one every three minutes in the UK.” With these worrying statistics, doing all you can to help lower your risk of the potentially life-threatening condition should be on your agenda - including spotting any unusual warning symptoms, says the Mirror.
