Hello,
Leg pain associated with chest pain should warrant a check to rule out any deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The clots from the legs may go to the lungs and cause serious complications, even life-threatening.
I would recommend you to see your doctor as soon as possible and have a full physical examination and if the doctor finds it necessary he may also ask for an ultrasound of your legs and chest scans.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
