Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to low blood pressure or peripheral arteriopathy.
For this reason, I recommend to closely monitor your blood pressure values and performing a Doppler ultrasound of your leg vessels.
In the meantime, I would recommend having some rest and taking plenty of water to stay well hydrated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
