Red Feet

So, a small background.

Last checkup BP/Heart-rate were normal. I'm 6'2, 150lb (Yes, super skinny, so what!) I don't exercise at all for the most part, have a desk job, usual gamer habits etc...
Don't smoke often, usually have a couple drinks a night, (sometimes not at all or sometimes more than a couple). Try to avoid fast food as well, if any of that helps.


So... for as long as I can remember, any time I stand up and sometimes even when just sitting my feet will turn red, like blood is just down there. It doesn't hurt or bother me really in any way, as soon as I start to walk even a few feet they return to my normal pale white. People occasionally point it out, and I just dismiss it (I wear sandals a lot... Florida is hot.)

Is this just poor blood flow, or just gravity doing its thing because I'm taller?
It does not really concern me, I was just thinking about it because I noticed it last night and had always wondered why it did that.

    Happens to me too. Poor circulation would cause your feet to be blue, red is probably a normal, healthy thing.

    Happens to me as well. As long as its not hurting, or feeling tight and constricted, I'd dismiss it as a quirk of the human body.
