[|Human|] last night I woke up with upset stomach & felt awful. Took BP 168/91 pulse 91 which is not normal for me. I have been having lower extremity pains & walking is very hard for more than a few mins without having to stop rest- stop rest. Am I having a heart issue ??
[|AI|]  Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms may be related to different disorders and a differential diagnosis should be performed. The pain in your lower extremities may be related to a peripheral arthropathy or to a lumbar spine compression. I recommend consulting with the GP for a careful physical examination, a Doppler ultrasound of the leg vessels and a lumbar spine x-ray, to establish the diagnosis. Regarding your blood pressure, some tests like a resting ECG, a routine blood test, kidney and liver function tests, thyroid hormone levels and blood electrolytes to find out the possible cause. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes,
