Am currently experiencing sciatic nerve pain in right leg but these symptoms seem unrelated. have some pressure in the chest. irregular heartbeat. left leg feels heavy, like a dead stump from the knee down. left arm is much colder than the right. Have a mild headache. Queezy stomach. Symptoms have lasted about 4 days now.
Brief Answer:
A few suggestions for you.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
I passed carefully through your medical history and recent complains, and I have e few suggestions for you.
(1) Regarding the chest pressure and irregular beats feeling, I would recommend you to perform a resting ECG coupled with some blood tests (including cardiac enzymes: CK-MB, Troponin). A careful physical examination by your doctor (internist or cardiologist) is necessary to rule out an acute coronary syndrome. You need to check also your blood pressure values and reconfirm your antihypertensive therapy.
(2) Regarding those left arm and leg pains (after ruling out any possible ischemic heart disorders), it is highly recommended to perform a visit to your neurologist for a comprehensive physical exam and possibly brain CT or MRI (probable stroke or other cerebral lesions, like tumor, etc) should be excluded.
Hope to have been helpful to you.
Feel free to ask me whenever you need. Greetings! Dr. Iliri
