Symptom

Heaviness.

What it may mean, what to try at home, and when to see a specialist.

A heavy, tired, dragging feeling in the legs—especially in the evening—suggests blood is pooling rather than returning efficiently. It's one of the most under-recognized symptoms of vein disease.

What it may mean
  • Venous reflux
  • Chronic venous insufficiency
  • Hormonal influence (pregnancy, hormones)
  • Lymphatic congestion
What to try at home
  • Compression stockings during the day
  • Leg elevation in the evening
  • Regular walking
  • Hydration
When to see a specialist

If heaviness is daily or affects activity, an ultrasound can identify treatable reflux.
