In some cases, swollen or puffy feet can be an early warning sign of poor heart function, circulation, or other health issues. Of course, swelling can happen for many different reasons and isn't always something to worry about. Watch out for if this problem is long-lasting or happens alongside other symptoms.

2. Cramps or muscle spasms

In particular, magnesium and potassium deficiencies can lead to leg and foot cramps. If cramping is something you are experiencing a lot, it might be worth stocking up on magnesium supplements! A study from 2017 showed that up to two-thirds of Americans are deficient in magnesium!

3. Cold feet

If you suffer with poor circulation, then you're likely to notice much colder feet! This is because your blood takes much longer to reach them. Another possible cause of cold feet can be thyroid problems, as this can affect your blood flow and your body temperature.

4. Persistent foot odor

Have you ever gotten out of the shower, only to notice your foot odor hasn't gone away? Fungus could be the culprit! Fungal infections are common, as your feet come into contact with a lot of sweat and moisture from weather. Intense, persistent foot odor likely signals an infection.

5. Calluses or corns

Image Source / healthline.com

If you're one of those people that insist on wearing high heels to the office everyday, you might want to think again. A lot of the time, corns are caused by the shoes that you wear. Poorly fitting shoes that put pressure on your feet or that are too loose are likely to have a knock on effect.

6. Blisters

Another potential outcome for wearing poor fitting or tight shoes is blisters. The friction and pressure can cause irritation, leading to a a lot pain! Some shoes made from certain materials such as mesh or coarse fabric can be the cause of blisters too.

7. Bruising or discolouration

Image Source / medicalnewstoday.com

Discoloured feet, especially unusually pale, reddish or bluish, can be a warning sign to watch out for. If you notice this change alongside other symptoms, then it could possibly be a sign of blood clot. Factors such as injury, age, pregnancy and weight can all potentially lead to this.

8. Dry, cracked skin

Image Source / reddit.com

If you're noticing the skin on your feet is constantly dry or cracking, there are a few causes that you might want to look at. This could be another sign of a fungal infection if paired with other symptoms. Or, this may simply indicate a lack of moisture.

9. Ingrown toenails

Image Source / health.clevelandclinic.org

By now, you're probably realising the havoc bad shoes can wreak on your life. It's no surprise that shoes that crowd your toenails can result in painful ingrown nails! However, they can also be caused by cutting your toenails too short or by injury to your feet.

10. Clubbed toes

Image Source / reddit.com

Clubbing of the toes or fingers can be a symptom of a number of issues. One cause could be a health condition such as celiac disease or cystic fibrosis, due to low blood-oxygen levels. Another cause of clubbing can be disease related to the heart or lungs.

11. Claw toes

Image Source / weil4feet.com

If you suddenly notice clawed toes, particularly after an injury or surgery, you might want to consider getting it checked out. Nerve damage or inflammation can sometimes cause toes to bend, resulting in clawed toes. Diabetes, arthritis and a stroke are other known causes of claw toes.

12. Hammer toes

Image Source / health.clevelandclinic.org

Hammertoe can happen when there's a muscle imbalance in your ligaments or tendons. Usually, your tendons would hold the foot straight, so when they're weaker, deformities such as hammertoe or mallet toe can be the result. This can be most common in people with high-arched feet.

13. Bunions

Image Source / orthoinfo.aaos.org

Bunions are fairly common. Most of the time, bunions are caused by genetics and are no cause for concern. However, there are certain health conditions which can cause them to pop up. An example of this could be joint problems, such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.

14. Gout

Image Source / healthline.com

Gout can be a warning sign for a lot of health conditions. Obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes are all potential culprits. Unfortunately, gout can even be caused by the things you love to eat and drink, especially if they cause a build-up of acid. You may want to cut down on red meat, seafood and beer!

15. Plantar fasciitis

Image Source / sussexfootcentre.co.uk

Plantar fasciitis is a fancy name for chronic heel pain. It can be caused by a sudden change to activity levels, for example taking up running. Another factor can be the type of surface you're standing, walking or running on. Watch out it your workplace is full of concrete, tile, or hardwood floors.

16. Stress fractures

Image Source / treadlabs.com

Stress fractures often happen when you increase the amount or intensity of an activity too quickly. Usually, the pain is barely noticeable at first, but does worsen with time. You're more at risk of stress fractures if you lack in vitamins such as vitamin D and calcium.

17. Tingling in feet and ankle

Image Source / ankleandfootcentre.com.au

If you've been experiencing pain, tingling or numbness in your feet or ankle, you could possibly have tarsal tunnel syndrome. Some diseases such as arthritis or diabetes can lead to swelling and nerve compression. If you have flat feet or fallen arches, you're also more at risk of developing TTS.

18. Achilles tendonitis

Image Source / orthobullets.com

Achilles tendonitis causes pain and inflammation in the heel and ankle. You're more at risk of this if you're a 'weekend warrior' who sits on your bum all week, only moving during the weekend. This is because your body isn't as used to the stress placed on your feet.

19. Heel spurs

Image Source / redmountainfootcare.com

Heel spurs are usually caused by stress or inflammation, which leads to a build up of extra bone tissue. Heel spurs can be down to a lot of running or jumping. They are also more common in people with a gait disorder, which is a condition affecting balance and coordination.

20. Flat feet

Image Source / medicalnewstoday.com

Some people have flat feet for genetic reasons. But if you notice an unusual change where your feet have become flat and you're experiencing pain, there could be more complicated underlying reasons. Some examples of this are obesity, diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis.

21. High arches

Image Source / adelaidefootandankle.com.au

You can test this by wetting your feet, standing on a safe surface, then moving away. If you can only see the imprint of your heels and front of foot, then you likely have high arched feet. In some cases, this can be a symptom of conditions such as a spinal injury, tumor, or even a stroke.

22. Feeling as though a lump is stuck in your foot

Image Source / mfaspecialists.com

Morton's neuroma is often described as feeling like you're standing on a pebble. It is far more common in women than men, probably because of the style of shoes worn. High heels are a big risk factor. However, a lot of high impact athletic sports will also put you in the high risk category for developing this condition.

23. Shooting pain

Image Source / ssorkc.com

Shooting pain can be the result of metatarsalgia. If you have an unusual bone structure in your feet, for example if they are extremely narrow, this can increase your chances. It can also be caused by other joint or foot conditions, including arthritis, gout, bunions and stress fractures.

24. Dull ache under big toe

Image Source / westvalleymedctr.com

You may not notice signs at first, but it will likely begin with a dull ache under the big toe that gets worse, gradually causing difficulty walking. This could be sesamoiditis, likely to be caused if you subject the tendons and bones in your feet to repetitive stress.

25. Wart on sole of feet

Image Source / healthline.com

If you spot a wart on the bottom of your foot, it's likely to be a plantar wart. They're caused by human papillomavirus, which is easily caught in moist environments. So you might want to keep your flip flops on when you're next walking around the locker room!

26. Ankle sprains

Image Source / accidentclaimsadvice.org.uk

Most people experience a sprained ankle during their lives, mostly down to injuries. However, if you're somebody who seems to repeatedly suffer from ankle sprains, or if your ankles give way easily when standing, there could be more to it. Chronic ankle instability could be down to deficiencies or obesity.

27. Dislocated ankle

Image Source / medizzy.com

I don't need to tell you about the symptoms of a dislocated ankle, because you're likely to know about it should it happen! Severe pain can happen right away. If your ankle has dislocated, this will have been caused by trauma where your muscles and tendons are weak.

28. Dark line or bruise on toenail

Image Source / mastertonfootclinic.co.nz

If you were to spot a dark spot underneath your toenail, you should definitely have a doctor check this for you. It may look a bit like a bruise, or a brownish-black streak. Whilst this could be due to bleeding, in some rare cases, this can be a sign of melanoma.

29. Varicose veins

Image Source / drnickcampi.com

Varicose veins are swollen, enlarged veins, which can look twisted, lumpy or bulging. Usually, the veins will be a blue or dark purple colour. They happen when the valves inside your veins stop working properly. You're more likely to have varicose veins if you are pregnant or overweight.

30. Numb feet

If you wear contact lenses instead of glasses, watch out for any white spots on the cornea of your eye, the clear layer over the front of eyeball.  Whereas it's not serious and is quite common amongst contact lens wearers, it should be dealt with as it may be a corneal infection that won't go on its own accord.

2. You Might Have Diabetes - it can be detected through eye examination

Image source Daily Express

Blurred vision may simply mean you need glasses but you should get your eyes checked in case it's something more serious, such as cataracts or macular degeneration.  It could even be diabetes which an ophthalmologist may be able to detect during your eye examination, based on irregularities in your retina.

3. You May Be Very Stressed - eye twitch

Stress can manifest itself in lots of different ways, from an upset stomach to poor sleep quality but also, if you develop a slight eye twitch, this could be your body telling you that you need to get some rest and relaxation and learn to manage your stress levels, maybe with the help of a health professional.

4. Your Blood Pressure Might Be Too High - it's in the eyes

Image source Daily Express

Besides putting you at risk of heart disease and strokes, untreated high blood pressure can damage the blood vessels in your retina.  This is known as hypertensive retinopathy.

5. Your Cholesterol Could Be Too High - run risk of a stroke

Image source Arthur Hayes Opticians

If you see a white ring around your corneal arcus (that's the medial term for the iris), you should visit your ophthalmologist as well as your GP.  This might just be a sign of ageing but could be an indication of high cholesterol which in turn could lead to an increased risk of a heart attack or stroke.

6. You Have Allergies- are you rubbing your eyes all the time?

9. You Are Getting Too Much Sun - overdoing the rays

12. You're Straining Your Eyes - not the same as eye strain

Broken blood vessels can look alarming but for the most part they are simply a sign that your eyes are working overtime.  This can be as a result of coughing or extra straining when visiting the bathroom, due to constipation.
