What Causes Heavy Sensation In The Legs And Chest?
I have heaviness in my legs and chest wall. I am 66 yrs old. I am a diabetic and I have coronary artery disease. I went to the the doctor last week with these symptoms and I was put in the hospital and had 2 stents put in my coronary artery and subclavicle artery for my neck. I still have the heaviness in my legs. I thought maybe I had a blockage in my legs. But the doctors have not given me a reason for the heaviness in my leg. Should they be looking for an embolism in my leg by any chance?
