What Causes Difficulty In Breathing And Heaviness On Legs?
last night i was at a loss of breath when i got up in the middle of the night to pee. I started to pee and all of a sudden I couldn't catch my breath. when I went to stand up to grab the phone, all of a sudden it felt like my legs were not working....I couldn't even walk. my feet were so heavy and afterwards I just went to bed...woke up feeling fine.
Breathlessness and lower legs swelling can be cardiac symptoms. So get some tests done immediately like a ECG and 2D Echo and get them evaluated from a cardiologist.
