Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir

After going through the medical details provided by i would like to ask yo that did you had any chest discomfort now?

If no then it does not look like a cardiac issue. However for your leg numbness/insensitivity you need to get one arterial and venous doppler done for your leg and also its advisable that you should consult a neurologist for evaluation.

One more thing which i want to tell you that is if you are a diabetic or a smoker then it could be due to some kind of peripheral artery disease.

Also as you have gone through an angioplasty 5 months back its advisable to get one ECG done.

I hope this information will be helpful. Feel free to ask if you have any other doubts.

Kind Regards
