Why Is The Pain In The Calf Muscle While Walking And Having Low Sugar, Low BP And Under Active Thyroid?
Hi, sometimes I get a severe ache in my calf muscle (normally just one). It goes when I sit down for a while. But may come back when I start walking again. It doesn't happen regularly. When I have the pain it's hard to walk or stand with it. I feel it might happen if I'm tired or low sugars. I have low blood sugars, low blood pressure and in the future I'll have an under active thyroid. I got the pain today but had just slept so there must be another cause.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Your condition is nothing to take any thing with low blood sugar or either with the low blood pressure, let me clear you that, the low blood pressure can not happen it self, it is certain conditions which causes the low blood pressure and it is medical emergency, again the low blood sugar causes the fainting first, and not the muscular pain, your muscular pain could be due to the poor posture that might be causing the muscular pain try to maintain a good posture, start taking some vitamin supplements and "Ibuprofen+Acetaminophen" this will give good result have nice day.

Hi!
Welcome to HCM!
Calf muscle pain can be musculoskeletal or nerve-related, but it can be a manifestation of Peripheral Arterial Disease.PAD occurs when major blood vessels that supply blood to the limbs and other important areas of the body become partially or completely blocked by the buildup of fatty deposits.That means taking recurring leg pain seriously,As you get calf pain when you walk, requiring you to stop and rest, you should get it checked out.
However,PAD is not, in and of itself, a condition that requires aggressive treatment in all people. In those with mild to moderate symptoms, An exercise routine, which can be as simple as a daily walk, is a very effective way to build new vessels and improve circulation -- when the routine is maintained, of course.smoking must be stopped .
In some patients, medications can be useful, but they do have important side effects that should be weighed carefully with your physician.
Hope this helps!Take care!
