What Causes Heaviness In Chest And Sharp Pain In Upper Thigh?

I have very sharp pains in my upper thighs (both) daily. I have daily swelling in my lower legs so much that my sock indents are pronounced. I also have a heaviness in my chest. Usually, I am either Freezing or sweating profusely... Is there something I can do to relieve the burn in thighs? I am pre -menopausal too.

Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should immediately consult cardiologist and get done
1. ECG
2. 2d echo
3. Stress test to rule out cardiac cause (congestive heart failure-CHF). Because your symptoms like chest heaviness, swelling in both lower limbs, sweating etc are seen commonly in CHF.
You are in pre menopause age too. In this age due to decrease in estrogen level,cardioprotective effect of estrogen is also decreased. So you are at higher risk of cardiac disease.
So immediately consult cardiologist and rule out cardiac disease in you. And start treatment accordingly.
