Brief Answer:
Please visit ER.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Thank you for the query.

I would recommend ER visit as soon as possible. Such symptoms are characteristic for arterial blood clot. If left alone can lead to a necrosis.
Dopplers arteries ultrasound should be done at first. Surgical intervention may be needed.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
