dear friend
you need not be worried about the pain in your hip area being connected to your cardiac condition
it is a separate entity the origin of which can be decided after you share some some more information
1 is it a dull ache or sharp shooting pain
2 does it radiate down to the led from hip
3 is it in the front of the thigh or behind
4 does your lower back also ache
what aggravates it and how is it relieved
please provide the answers and we will try to find the reason or suggest further course of action
