What Causes Pain In The Lower Leg And Chest While Sneezing?

I have factor iv lieden a genetic blood disorder that throws blood clots uncontrollably and any given time. I m 38 years old and woke up with pain in my lower right leg and when I sneeze it is intensely painful in my chest. I have pain in my left side that feels like someone is stabbing my heart. Its pain under my breast not the breast itself that hurts. My face and limbs on my left side continue to numb off and on and my digital blood pressure cuff for the wrist reads 149/81 with a pulse of 69 and the cuff is stating an alert on my pulse. I had surgery on my esophageal lining due to a gi condition called EE. I think the spelling is esinophillic esophagitis aka allergic esophagus. That surgery was August 25th just 2 weeks ago. My face stays red like its flushed only its red not pink like when you have a fever. I am staying low trying to not stir and cause more pain. The pain from my chest on the left side does periodically send a sharp stabbing like pain up the left side of my neck as well. Breathtaking at time is the pain. I wonder if gas could cause this pain yet it doesn t subside with gas x. I don t know what to think or do. My bp is normally 102/68 to 108/72. Should I be concerned or blow this off??

Hi,

As per my clinical experience, the issue of pain in the lower leg with chest may indicate underlying clotting disturbances and possible deep vein thrombosis with pulmonary embolism development.

An ER visit is warranted at this point without any delay after calling 911.

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

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
