What Causes Sudden Chest Discomfort And Leg Weakness?

I have been experiencing sudden chest discomfort such as pressure, fullness or squeezing sensation in the chest, and leg weakness and cramps and fatigue with a high blood pressure of 161/86 and pulse rate of 92 in the last 24 hours, should I go to the Emergency Room or wait to see a private doctor?

Hi,

Any chest pain should never be underestimated and should be evaluated in detail.
The symptoms you are telling can be of cardiac origin and I advise you to immediately see a doctor in an emergency and not wait.
You should also get an ECG and 2D Echo done. If both are normal go for a stress test.

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

Regards,
Dr. Sameer Maheshwari, Cardiologist
