when your legs feel heavy, is that related to your heart?

I test people for Perphrial Vascular Disease. That sometimes is a symptom.\n\nSometimes people get blockages in their legs. It's kind of like when you get blockages in your heart only they occur in the vessels in legs.\n\nIt can make your legs hurt, feel heavy or ache. That feeling is from lack of oxygen coming to the muscles via the vessels. It's a very simple test where they take the pressures in your legs and compare them to see the results. If you do have blockages in the legs they do stenting. Basically it's a little spring that holds open the blockage to allow the blood through.\n\nGood luck! Rememeber the number one cause of death is cardiac so always be safe

When you lose too much blood, your blood pressure drops and you feel dizzy based upon the fact that your brain isn't getting enough oxygen. this is even worse if you are standing because the heart cannot pump hard enough to get what little blood up to the brain. this is called orthostatic hypotension. If you lay down, it becomes easier for the heart to pump the remaining blood around, but pretty soon only the main organs get blood, because that is what is needed to keep you alive and if there isn;t enough blood for even that, you will die.

Do you slouch or do you sit up straight? This could be nothing more than muscle spasms or pain from trapped wind. If you were suffering heart trouble you would be feeling the pain in the centre of your chest, in your neck or your arms. I don't think it could be your liver or you would be feeling 'out of sorts' too. Call NHS direct and have a word with them to see what they think. They will not offer a diagnosis but will advise you to visit your Doctor if they think it neccessary.

When you sit on your leg the blood stops flowing to it.Your nerves give out a warning.We all know how the warning feels like.

You gained more muscle which is heavier than fat and by working on your legs through walking, you've gained heavier muscle.  Gaining leg muscles produce more weight than any other muscle in your body.\n\nYou should feel better and your body should feel firmer.  You replaced your fat with healthy muscles.  Don't worry about the weight.  If you want to trim the weight down, eat sensibly.  That always does the trick.

It sounds like a heart problem associated with your circulation. I would go to a doctor.

Does your heart beat funny for a second or two?  If so, I get that.  It's related to anxiety and stress.  I also got it a lot when I smoked or drank caffeine.  Call your doc and make sure it's nothing serious though.

have u tried lifting weights? you might be feeling weaker when you do a lot of cardio and its draining your energy. lifting weights gives u that adrenaline rush that overcomes that. and maybe u arnt eating enough? if thats the case then try more calorie dense foods.

haha okok first off i admire your effort..you really went after it...so whats wrong with your legs??blood...when you worked out did you cool down..or did you sit down..when you left your workout room were you out of breath??if you didnt cool down(same exercises with lower reps and weight) you left a good amount of blood in your muscles(legs) are the biggest muscles=more pain) ..you're heart pumps oxygen rich blood your the muscles that need it ...a cool down would have help the blood get back to the heart faster..so you wont have to walk to the car feeling like you have an elephant on your back..also you could have just overwork yourself..after a workout,when you go home check your heart beat ..if i still beating fast two hours after working out ..you need it clutch down a gear..if this was recent go for a walk...you'll be less sore after work outs to!!...hope this helps..a very smart question too

I always had trouble with my left leg when you have your period your ovary enlarges which can then put pressure on the nerve that runs to your leg. Thats what the doctor said was causing mine. There is nothing you can do for it except pray for early menopause.

Contrary to what some say, your small heart and your regular-sized heart act the same way.  (cue the rim shot)\n\nWomen tend to present with more atypical symptoms than men.  Almost always is a sense of shortness of breath.  Other symptoms may be a profound sense of fatigue, chest tightness, jaw and/or neck discomfort, shoulder, arm, mid scapular discomfort.  Many people will say that they are not feeling true "pain."  There may also be pallor, a cold sweat, nausea and/or vomiting, and a sense of "impending doom."\n\nAnother consideration is your risk factors.  Early family history for heart disease (heart attacks, open hearts, heart caths only - not arrhythmias or valve problems), high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and smoking are the big five.  If you are a woman and under 40 then you would need to have nearly all of the risk factors to actually have heart disease/heart attack.  If you are at menopause or later in life a couple of factors would be enough to be concerned.  I hope this helps.

Basically if the pain is reproducible with movement and breathing then it is muscular if not it might be cardiac related.

I believe you are asking specifically how a person's legs look/feel when diabetes is present in their system.  If so, the legs tend to swell and you cannot stand on them for long periods of time.  They ache constantly.  Only a doctor can diagnose this illness for sure and will suggest treatment.  Diabetes is also usually inherited. But you can also have the "old age" as they call it, diabetes, which my father had in his 60s.  That was caused by too much alcohol and too much rich food (and not exercising and in general, just taking care of yourself.)  So because it was "old age" and the diabetes was brought on by outside 'triggers' (i.e., food and alcohol), it is not in our family.  But please get your legs checked out.

If massage helps, the pain could indeed be muscular.  But be aware that hypertension leads to heart disease, and the heart has many ways of warning you.  Usually it is a central chest pain that indicates heart problems, but left sided neck/shoulder pain can also mean heart trouble. I'd have the person be checked out by a doctor to make sure heart is ok.  Good luck!
