What Causes Dizziness And Breathing Difficulty Along With Pain In The Lower Leg?

I am having frequent spells of dizziness after walking especially slope, climbing stairs .I am out of breath, dizzy, and my lower legs become painful after 10-15 stairs. I have to stop, hold onto something for 1-3 minutes in a still position before it becomes normal and I feel comfortable to move again

Hi,

There are. two possibilities. Either these may be symptoms of peripheral vascular disease that is narrowing of the limb vessel which can't supply proper blood to the legs so they start aching when walking. This is more likely if the pain as at the back of your legs and if you have risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia, or old age.

Other possible thing is spinal stenosis, that is put pressure on the nerve in the spine. So see your doctor and get properly evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
