Leg numbness when running
Written by: Dr. Rowena | Posted: Oct 08 2009
Q: I’m 64 years old, a long time runner and fit. My BP tends to elevate only under stress. I’m taking 40 mg per day (one tablet) of Lotensin. I experience “heavy legs” and aches when running. I also have numbness in my toes. Could the medication be causing these symptoms?
A: You need to see your doctor. The source of your problems may be that your legs don’t get enough blood when you are running. This should be evaluated.
