Hi,

The history of heart attack to your father at 45 years makes you a high risk for heart attack. Definitely you require a heart checkup. The heaviness in your legs face may not be because of heart disease. But sometimes thyroid hormone abnormalities may cause these problems. So to evaluate for heart disease get your routine ECG Treadmill stress test and Echo done along with blood test for lipid, thyroid test, kidney function test and blood sugar.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Deepesh Agarwal
