[|Human|] I keep getting palpitations in my left leg and can feel the blood flowing in it. I had it last year for about a month, then it went away. It came back a few weeks ago, and it is usually when I lie down or rest. There is also a slight cramplike feeling in the leg too.
[|AI|]  Hello, Most probably it is due to peripheral vascular diseases where blood flow to the distal limbs get blocked and thus leads to symptoms like cramps and pain. However, we have to rule out other causes like peripheral neuropathy and varicose veins. As of now consult a general surgeon and plan for an arterial Doppler to make a diagnosis. You can take analgesics like tramadol for pain relief. Make sure that your blood sugar level is under control and avoid stopping because uncontrolled diabetes and smoking worsen the symptoms. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
